The Fermi Thread - Part 3

Can anybody actually show me the source/rumour of where it says that the GTX 480 will have 448SP?

Anything I have seen so far are rumours, still it's already being preached as the truth.

There is no rumor that GTX 480 would have 448 SP.

GTX 480 has been rumored to have either 480 or 512 SP.

Wrong. There was Charlie here:

It was based on Tesla Models, which have 448 SP.

. For those not interested in the 'why' side of things, the short answer is that the top bin as it stands now is about 600MHz for the half hot clock, and 1200MHz for the hot clock, and the initial top part will have 448 shaders. On top of that, the fab wafer yields are still in single digit percentages.

So charlie has said 448 shaders, 480 shaders and 512 shaders for the gtx 480 of course he going to be right.

Charlie covers his bases by gatling gunning rumors especially the negative ones. His fans forget when he is wrong and like to stress when he is right.
