Doesnt help with credibility when you have the spelling correction line in there (as it does in editing mode in office since 2003) and not the PPT slideshow

This is definitely one of the worst fakes I've seen yet. Not saying the specs aren't true, but if this is an AMD slide I'll eat all my hats.

Could the fact some places are blacked out be the reason why the spelling correction line is there? although saying that why not just use paint to black out anything needed.

Well if they are anywhere near true they will be a rip snorting pair of cards Now amd needs to sort out the crossfire scaling and nvidia will be in major doo-doo

I hear that! I do like AMD Cards, but I'm actually looking at getting that new MSI Lightening GTX480 to power my pixels.

I bet you are looking forward to the amd 6xxx release due to some price drops for the 480 then?

"AMD says Radeon 6800 BARTS is old generation respin to compete against GTX460"

I believe chiphell are correct about the above statement, but wrong about the number of shaders.

It has been widely reported that that BartsXT has 960 shaders, which is either 192 traditional five-way shader clusters, or 240 nextgen four-way shader clusters.

Now unless ATI have adopted Nvidias practice of shipping top-of-tier GPU's with disabled shader-blocks this tells me that a 960 shader BartsXT is based on the old 4+1 shader design.

This conclusion is reinforced by the slide above showing BartsXT as having 12 SIMD blocks, another name for a shader block, and what number do you get when you divide 960 by 80, which is the number of shaders in a 5xxx series shader-block?

I believe you will find the number is 12............
