ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

dude no way g92b will be 20+% faster than g92, its just not going to happen. G92b is a direct shrink, look at the r600 to 3870, did you see any big ipc gains? Samething will happen with g92 to g92b, it'll drive down prices and costs+up yields, but it won't do much for performance. You'd need it clocked at something like 800+mhz stock for it be 20% faster than g92 and that you know as well as everyone else that won't happen unless nvidia plans on having low yields again

Yeah. I just threw the G92/G92b numbers without thinking really. If G92b is (only)G92 @ 55nm, then with what is nV going to compete agasint RV770? ...haven't heard about low/mid range chips based on GT200. :|

Well, anyway I think that R700 stays somewhere between GTX 260 and GTX 280, leaning towards GTX 280. Though, I am not very sure about how big difference there is between 260 and 280. Heard about 25%, which is IMO rather high to be true.
