AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[RaZz!]

8 generations?? Maybe 5 if you want to count GT300 series, wich is for OEM's:

8800 series
9800 series
200 series
*300 series*
400 series

And from ATi:

HD2000 series
HD3000 series
HD4000 series
HD5000 series
HD6000 series

IMHO ATi is 1 generation ahead, or at least 6 months ahead.

for nvidia it was more like

8800 series
8800 series
8800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
9800 series
200 series
*300 series*
400 series



na, i'm just kidding. i don't get why people get so angry about product naming and new generations.

6870 are the same to the 5870 as the 5770 was to the 4870/4890. just because it doesn't follow the x770 naming scheme everyone is going nuts. seriously guys, get a grip!

look at the price/performance and you'll see where these cards belong. there's a good fight between the 6850/6870 and the gtx460/oc'ed in the mainstream gpu market - both, ati and nvidia, offer decent performance for a very good price
