at the moment im running an XFX 8800GTS card, which is 3 years old now and cost about £330 back in 2007

and it has 96 pipelines/steam processors

and i am now looking at ATi cards, which list their cards with cores, now for £29 quid you can get a budget card with '80 cores'

and for £131 an ATi card with 800 cores, now obviously more is better

what is the difference between the 3 definitions; cores, pipelines and steam processors?

because for 10% (£30) of what my card cost you can buy a card with only 16 less cores today..... or are they different things if you get what im trying to say
 
yeah precisely that, i was just trying to get my head round the numbers

as i couldnt believe that £29 card today has only a few less cores than my £330 card

hence why i wanted to clear it up in my mind, so i know how much to spend, as i need as much bang for buck at the moment
