Which justifies making up more rumors out of thin air?

Which justifies making up more rumors out of thin air?

Asking questions is now considered making stuff up?

What do you think Charlie is doing all the time?

Nobody can tell you the hard facts without breaking NDA, so people just guess. Do these numbers actually look reasonable? I think so.

What do you want to hear exactly? That the numbers Nordic HW posted are real? That someone actually already guessed the right number of stream processors, but it got covered so quickly, that most people didn't notice? That the launch driver received the WHQL today? Maybe, that HD 6850 is also going to be available with 2GB of RAM? Or how about the PCB being red?

There were no questions, direct or implied, in your statement. It was a claim. This is a rumor thread - so not only do rumors get collected here, we get to debunk them here. I have been watching rumor threads for quite some time and I never remember anything like what you are describing.

What do you think Charlie is doing all the time?

I don't care what someone does in their free time. When Charlie posts something I decide to believe, to disbelieve, or remain undecided based on what else is currently known, logical reasoning, and his accuracy on that subject in the past. The same with every other rumormonger. Talking about their motivations, emotional state, etc often simply amounts to a veiled ad hominem and is irrelevant.

Ok. Believe whatever you want.

Frankly, I have heard enough. Soon it will be time to see the truth and make some mental (and public) notes about all the claims floating around.
