AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[RPGWiZaRD]

You're aiming too low. The question should be - how much does the 6970 beat the 580?
Also, how much does the 6950 beat the 580?

They both will, even if it's marginal for the 6950.

Your expectations don't make sense, then 6950 would have to cost at least 549~$599 and HD6970 with whatever advantage it have perhaps $699 and Antilles would be only available to rich bastards for $899 and then that would be rather aggressive pricing vs performance for the competitor. You think the market would accept such prices? Another point would be power consumption/efficiency? AMD would sure have some wizard engineers to be able to create such performance increase yet on 40nm node not to mention the limited development time. xD

Yeah, no speculation there at all.

Where are you getting those numbers?

From my head using logical guesses based on historical pattern, trends, current manufacturing process node status, how much spareroom for improvement does it look to be there still on current gen, "what I had aimed for being in charge of the company", what feels right etc, like I said, speculation. ^^ Some speculations are more logical than others though.
