right theres far far far too many threads floating around about G80 for comfort, so has anyone heard anything more on R600? the only 'speculation' i have heard is that it is gonna be 80nm, have 64 'full' pipelines, its shaders are much more efficient than G80s and it has some fancy 1024-bit (512-bit bi-directional) ringbus contraption giving it some utterly stupid 140GB/second bandwidth, that it only dissipates 200 - 220W (not the 300+ that was claimed) and finally that they think its coming with 1024mb onboard GDDR4 memory, not believing any of this until someone from ATI states it once and for all but its sounding promising don't you think, anyone that has heard anything more, feel free to add some information ;)
 
well the way i see it, the late speculation about G80 proved to be reliable, as did the speculation surrounding C2D, so if its same with AMD/ATI i think there well on course to beating there two rivals, R600 looks to be techologically superior to G80 (rumours, whispers and speculation i know) and K8L looks like a MASSIVE revision of K8, with four cores, a boatload more floating point performance, far more aggressive pre-fetching, HT3.0 as well as tons of other revisions (great reading if your interested)
