AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[hurrdurr]

so you see this as another R600 ????

No, I don't see it as anything since like you, I have no real info regarding this card. I'm just saying that everyone's expectations are too high, but to me the circumstances indicate otherwise. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if 6950 competed with 580 and 6970 blew everything out of the water (I've sold my 5970 and I have been waiting for a fast single GPU card).

you're forgetting Nvidia still hasn't launched the gtx 570 yet and when it comes to volume the 6950 will sell more than the 6970. So Nvidia can still adjust their clocks on the 570 to make it more competitive than the 6950 and that is a risk for AMD. Untill all of Nvidias products are out, including the fabled 595, AMD does have a lot to lose by leaking benches and facts.
