Sam makes me feel good about finding him the picture of those freaky japanese gladiator things lol.

28 nm by Q1 when 40 nm yields are terrible? 384 bit GDDR5 with 1 / 2 Gb?

Juniper XTX with 256 bit when we already know that 128 bit 5770 is meant to be the top Juniper chip?



Those specs would need brand new chips, current ones cant just be upgraded to less nm and more bits in a refresh.
5890 / 5790 will be redesigned parts with higher frequencies like the 4870 / 4890.

A 5830 type card with fewer shaders and 256 bit interface will be required to bridge the gap between 5770 and 5850, if it ever happens, because Juniper is limited to 128 bit.
