Dude, you aren't helping. From the random inflammatory posts to the misunderstanding of unrelated technologies, please just stop.


I linked two comments. The one I included a quote from was one that was posted a long time before that chart was out. The second link was just to back up your continued complaining about poor price/performance.

Edit:

Yes they did. Read the thread if you are in doubt.

I don't see it (the renaming confirmation) in august at all and honestly, if your saying the renaming was confirmed earlier than that chart and that chart is more recent, then how come that chart says a 6870 is a Cayman part. If the name shifting was confirmed, wouldn't that chart show Bart and 6870 together, rather than Cayman and 6870 together, in addition to the 6770 part missing entirely.

I really didn't start believing the renaming was going to happen until LordECC started mentioning it; which I even mention when I criticized AMD for this renaming practice and this came much later.

Fudzilla typically jumps the gun way too early and he even said barts was going to replace the 58xx series and he said this at the end of September.

The reshifting was only confirmed late September or early October, Heck until we got the boxes it wasn't really even confirmed because alot of people still had faith AMD wasn't going to do the name shifting.

Solas, to win this argument you need to do two things. Confirm that most people knew about the Barts xt reshifting to a 68xx series in August and in addition, show I believed this reshifting during this time as well. Not speculation even, but I entirely believed.
