What's funny is that R600 was the basis for RV770 and RV870, and so far, they've done quite fine for ATI.

Maybe R600 wasn't the success ATI wanted, but the architecture has more than vindicated itself, seeing as how it's lasted 3 generations and has produced incredible scaling

And again, if the only performance on Fermi is what Nvidia PR is saying, I'd scale that back 10%

(it's my general rule regarding performance from PR sources... scale it back a bit and you see the truth )
