New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[jaredpace]

A little better translation.

No manufacturer (I asked three of them) has Radeons HD 6800 in their roadmap, they are not going to be available until November (probably not enough cards has been made for the launch), actual launch has been probably delayed until early November (reviews in October)
- Two cards will be launched simultaneously - Radeon HD 68x0
- No cards with the HD 6700 moniker exist
- Performance matches their name, no need to worry, they are the performance successors of HD 5850/70
- Radeons HD 5000 will still be sold, they're going to cover the rest of the portfolio until the end of the year, what's probably going to change are their names and prices
- Many things have changed in the architecture, 3D features, new capabilities when it comes to video coding and handling the output (picture) not sure what the last part is about
- Some slides, that we've seen pop-up on the internet, even though photoshopped, show the whole picture, but you need to combine them and I'm not revealing which and what exactly

PS. I'm gonna show you blurred picture of the card tomorrow (it's from another presentation, which I've just got)

Any more info on this? I notice he took all the slides down from his blog cuz AMD sent him a letter. Did he ever post that picture of the card?

No AFAIK

Sadly, I missed that.

The rest of his entries are mostly about attacking a site, that is run by probably the most fanATIc guy, you have ever seen. He's like a Charlie, but worse. If he posts something new, I can translate other stuff in case he posts more.

As was noted before, why would they want to hide the GPU-Z version number? Perhaps to hide the fact that they edited the screenshot of a version that is known not to be able to display the HD6800 properly like this?

To make it look real?
We all know, that GPU-Z is mostly a database. He might have access to new HW, but why risk a good relationship with somebody and leak it? Doesn't make sense.
