how do you know it was new for everybody and not just you? you cant possibly know if some information is new or just new to you... and im sure nvidia has had, and most likely shared, perf estimations for fermi for quite some time...

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 )
well idk... r600 was most likely revamped a lot... i wouldnt say that r600 in itself was such a great and scalable design... a truly great and scalable design doesnt first suck and needs to be modified greatly to perform well... thats against the whole definition of a very scalable design
