A couple years ago threads like this could be created and intelligent debate would be thrown around. Nowadays, it's total flamebait... The topics have remained the same (future card speculation), but yet for some reason the threads these days turn into baseless flame wars within the first page.
As per the topic, I have heard absolutely nothing regarding R600 whatsoever. I saw those R580 'specs' (if you can call them that.. simply postulation at this point), but I'm definitely skeptical of everything as we still don't know 100% for sure everything going on with the R520 cards yet.
64 pipes should be expected as a minimum for the R600 high end part, but there is of course a but
The R600 is moving to a unified shader architecture so first the 64 pipes include vertex and pixel shader power total and second the unified shaders are quite a bit weaker then those used on current segregated parts(they can't handle as much per cycle in terms of computations). As a general rule of thumb you can divide by two to get something more comparable to current standards(ie- the R600 should be comparable to a 32 ALU current architecture part).
Perhaps you should be banned for having a post containing nothing on topic in it? If you have nothing to contribute to the thread topic then stay out of it or there will need to be complaints filed with the moderators.

:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer: 10 beers for you. ArchAngel you got pwned.
roll is an idiot. His dream is that ATI dies so NVIDIA can have full market control. Then Roll can worship NVIDIA like God. I wonder if this happened, would NVIDIA bother with realizing awesome product or just think about maximizing profit. But in the end Roll would buy anything what NVIDIA produce even if its crap to protect his ?
ROFL, i agree with 100% of what you said. lol "rollo will buy anything what NVIDIA produce even if its crap"

Don't you guys remember when these specs were leaked though? We discussed it and pretty much decided it was some Fanboys wet dream that got posted by some site, not anything even remotely close to reality. I don't understand the issue here. Ben is very likely right, but these "leaked" specs are about as real as Rollo's kick as video card
Did you notice it had 256 megs of ram? Kind of funny that we got there and have at least that many pipes that those cores would have had

heh, i dont think anyone likes you rollo. you're to much of a nvidia fanboy and love to start flame wars.
As I understand it the R520 and R600 were developed by different teams.
Maybe the R600 team was a little smarter who knows. But we did hear Transmeta who is manufacturing the Xbox chip got it right the first run also. So it does gel that the R600 could be tapped out and working and designed right. But why release R520? Or even R580? I guess ATI could possibly then release the R600 at a massive price and use the R520 for the mid to lower ends.
Unless the moron confused the R580 with the R600 and the R580 is the one that is tapped out. Who knows. I like many seem dissapointed with the latest ATI card.
Anyone else hear the Nintendo Revolution is going to use the R580? There is a rumor its a dual core R580 but I dont see that for cost reasons and for the size of the revolution. Would be a little on the hot side unless its underclocked to keep it cool. Buth with 2 distribution outlets it would appear ATI is going to have some cash lying around even if they fall behind in the PC market.

i like rollo!.
what were you saying again?
The R600 is a unified shader GPU. It is likely it will have 48+ pipelines, but they are NOT similar to the pipelines in any graphics card out today. They will be able to switch to and from shaders dynamically, allowing as much shader power as the particular app demands.
The Nvidia G80 is also a unified shader GPU.

QFT. Normally I don't the support the Idea that the amount of posts effect a persons ability to post useful information. The Idea that some one can make a large judgement of a long time poster in a couple of dozen posts is very idiotic.
Also that MaximumPC pic is classic and has been used as a spy photo for just about every single future card since 1999 on every tech board out there. Seeing that picture makes me laugh every time I see it. I guess you really need to know and love MaximumPC and seen that picture in it for the first time to really enjoy that joke.
A little late, but I wasn't taking it personally, obviously the R600 should get more bungholio marks than that
I was just suprised you didn't be more creative with your picture, like in the penny RAMsink thread, LOL.
You people that are making posts complaining that Rollo is not contributing anything to this thread realize the coincidence in that, right?
