Indeed, no way. You expected something which is not even possible, and now feel disappointed. Disappointed because of your overly-optimistic expectations.

Good luck next round, will be disappointed again, and again.
I was expecting further improvements efficiency. Not only does it share similar paper specifications as R700, but it also share's RV790's core clock speed.

R600 -> RV770 was impossible? RV770's performance over R600 was greater than the 2.5x increase in the ALU count. Most of RV770's performance wins over R600 came from internal improvements in the chip design (most notable being the inclusion of hardware based MSAA resolve).

Years ago, were you also around saying that the performance of chips like Conroe, Hammer, Nehalem, R580, R300 and G80 were impossible?

...oh, and thanks for the attitude.
