AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[tajoh111]

you really cant wait 12 days to see the performance? plus there will likely be price cuts on gtx 580.
btw if amd doest give actual performance figures they will not suddently reveal how fast their products are in an overall chart like that.
take the 6850 as an example its placed just above the 5770 on the graph but performs as fast and sometimes faster than 5850.

I would like to be somewhat optimistic but man there is simply no leaks and I for one would leak something at this point because it looks like there are real quantities of the gtx 580, not paper quantities like original imagined. This is the best indication of performance directly from AMD, everything else has been hype or stories from Charlie or his sources.

And I think your point about the 5850 and the 6850 more or less proves the accuracy of this chart. The 5850 is faster overall compared to a 6850, this is fact and the chart indicated the 5850 performing between a 6850 and 6870. This is completely true when taken from an average of games and even in percentage terms, this chart is not so far off base.
