Brief but kinda intresting I guess.

I found this to be quite interesting:

How much room to tweak do you have at software level to improve performance (estimative value if you have)?

We?re working with Stanford on further performance increases using ATI?s own custom interface for GPGPU purposes. (In the range of a 150% - 200% performance increase ) We?re hoping to release this in the next month or two.

its good to see they'll be able to get more science out of the currently technology. I have an ichey trigger finger for getting another gpu or two but I really want to hold out for R600 to see what it brings.
