Could Sep 10th come any faster? 
Reminds me of another forum, someone posted a thread no-one likes me, nothing worth living for ect
so I replied with this little suggestion
For some strange reason the other posters weren't too happy with me
What's not to like about sound advice?
Beer?

Assuming GT300 is going to be late, I wonder if ATI is going to hold onto Hemlock and use it purely as a spoiler for GT300 launch?

Who knows. It's hard to tell who has sources and who's just being creative with other people's leaks and speculation Right now, for all we know AMD is going to launch a 1280 or 1600 or 2000 shader part in September, October or November in maybe an MCM format or enhanced crossfire with 2 or 3 chips on the flagship board

Yes, please.Beer?
That would only work if they are certain it will be faster or cheaper (or both) than the GT300.
Possibly. Or they overshot their budget buying beer.
If you can take time out from work and building your incredible gamerscore, I'm up for it.
I just read the Fudzilla "article" or "news" for the first time, but it's clear that he must have meant 1.6 times faster aka 260% speed of RV770, since he mentions how it's indeed "quite fast", while when we had what we had last gen, I'm sure no-one would be jumping guns on "quite fast" especially if it's "best case scenario" as he mentions, if it was only 60% faster.
(now, of course since it has been judged as fake anyway, this was kinda irrelevant)

The x2's have always been released later, and I don't think it has anything to do with NV.
It would also need a lot larger pcb board than this. It's a 192bit if it has 12 chips just like it was leaked with bush and plant names. And HD4770 also had 8 chips just paired to comply with 128 bit bus. And latency went up a lot but obvioulsly who cares about latency on budget mainstream boards like RV740 or this JuniperXT. I still doesnt know what is this ex.RV830 ... real life HD4850 dx11 compliant substitute or what. Damn bushes.
It's still the tree names bugging me for some reason, why trees?
It keeps me awake late at night, honest.

@rpg
How much would you pay for 8 chips ... 2.50USD/per chip seems pretty expensive to me.
@CarstenS
How do you mean that gddr3 costs more it's 16 vs 8 chips so they cost LESS ... and the best thing it' pretty advanced gddr3/4 so they're also pretty expensive for an old stuff on new steroids.
Nad about PSU ... they probablydont buy same components for their PSUs and nvidias PSUs ofte loks far more expensive than poor ati. So it looks like intel vs amd's mobos AMDs cost more than features and PSu they offered in the time of first core2 lga775 vs. best first AM2+ mobos. It's simplysome market share splitting. And dang for that amd crickety cricks of their poor PSU on their cards after first review boards .... best example is delayed HD4770 which only i their review release cames out with fully shielded 1st-2nd grade coils while all retails came out with poorest 3rd grade coils for PSU.
And about Junipers, Sequoias aso. Hope they'll not on Volterra diital pwm design again cause i saw too many dead cards based on that prototype product. While old school OSCON and cheap intersil VRM rulzz in terms of endurance and reliability. But after all and ATi must earn some money and the best way is to rip off their true believers after their cards die in sleep after gurarantee expire and buy another ATi. But now their market share expanede and they DO NOT NEED to do that again like in 1950PRO-XT-2900XT-PRO days when they have less than 30% of market share.
4890 power circuit is build all around not one but two Volterra controllers, so there is some justification, me thinks.
Too expensive piece of crap.
IMNSHO and this is the main reason after consumption why i would never buy this polished non-buggy RV770 successor. And somehow i think its reason why it consumes at least 3-5W more than it should just like anycard based on Volterra. Which is weird cause digital VRM should be more efficient than analog ones but 1950PRO/XT-2900PRO i saw disapproves that.
