evergreen rumors: its 2x faster and it will be $250! then people start understanding gpu architectures and their need for bandwidth. gt300 will have ~240 GB/s compared to 150GB/s with rv870. i think this will be a great gpu and too close to the 5870x2 for ATi to be comfortable. its just a matter of time. once nvidia launches this then its clear sailing. especially in hpc market with insane margins and great per/watt. i am also very excited for larrabee. i read a whitepaper that said a 16 core 1ghz larrabee is 1.5x faster than a gtx280. that could put a 32 core 1.5GHz larrabee ahead of gf100!cant seem to find the paper now though.
All fonbois said all that about GF100? Generalizations...

Anyways, not sure where you think you read about 16core Larabee @ 1ghz being faster than GTX280... Certainly not at gaming since they will need 32-64cores on the final product.
