AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

Dont know if this is trustworthy,

So that's equivalent to some 2400 Cypress shaders for Cayman XT. With all the other improvements I'd say something in range of 40% faster than HD5870 is doable.

What is sure, thoses spec match the last rumored spec... maybe a bit too much, i don't read chinese, are you sure he just not compil the last rumors ?

In this case it beats GTX580.

If these numbers are genuine it should be way above that. HD6870 is about 2 GFLOPS. So we're looking at around 50-60% over HD5870... and possibly a match for the 5970.

More equivalent to 2400 Bart's shaders IMO.

We're talking about Hemlock class performance here.

December 13? Damn, I don't know if I can wait that long. I was hoping for some price drops from Nvidia, not happy.

Hope you didn't wait for GF100 then.. Though, it is a bit late to launch it just 11 days before Christmas, but the majority of parents don't buy the gifts until around that time anyway...

Heh, no. I wanted to give the 580 a try, but $500 is more than I want to spend.

Maybe I'll just pick up a GTX460, or dig out some of my oldie cards and use that, I'm using IGP right now.

You missed the part where they're apparently getting this form Shane Baxtor

Background? Sorry I've been out of the loop on these things until lately.

Slightly more credible than Charlie/Fuad but often writes/presents things in a similar tabloid fashion and has been off quite a few times

Problem is... if release dates are usually under NDA, why the hell would this be posted directly? Doesn't seem to quite add up

[snoid_zero]

Oh...seems like a familiar pattern. maybe not.

huuuum... while it look official .... the way its made look really doubtfull...
