AMD: R9xx Speculation

That's of course assuming it's even real, which it starts to look like it's not

This indeed seems to be a rough estimate.
Playing with GPUSA, though, you'll see average efficiency is around 75%, with some insanely inefficient shaders (short and almost purely sequential scalar ops...)
Going 2+2, DP would jump from 1/5 to 1/2 (semi-specialized slots, 2 taking care of the MUL and 2 of the ADD) and average efficiency in SP would go up too.
Add the tessellation issue to the mix (3 times the necessary Ops done) and you're done.
Don't know where the "Barts XT is 700MHz" comes from, but perhaps it's true and they doubled ALU frequency.
It came from nApoleon.But he only said it was 6700 series,and it wasnt the final clock.
Dual-slot
2DVI+HDMI+DP
Dual 6pin
4+1+1 power circuit (4 phase core power circuit on the left of GPU )
Core clock 700Mhz (tentative)
The die larger than expected (square)
Was that really the original source for the 4D rumour? Wow, if that was just a WAG he definitely inspired a lot of unnecessary mental masturbation over it. I agree with him on one thing though - something big had to have changed.
No, 4D rumour was started around Apr.

I suggested one form of VLIW-4 here:

and another here:

I expect it came up before that, too.

And the little red squiggle under "perf" means the slide was in edit mode - not as part of a deck that's been handed out. So a slide in edit mode needs cack-handed blacking-out of selected text
It just means nobody disabled ppt spell/grammar check for that page before converting it to pdf, and hooking it up to the rights managment server. This looks like an internal presentation for talking with partners, not for press. IMHO.

I can't reproduce the behaviour you're suggesting would cause this problem - using PowerPoint 2007.
This slide looks real to me. So Barts XT really is one half the shaders of Cayman XT?
Cayman will have 96 TMU and 64 or 32 ROP?

If the slide is real, 4D isn't an option I think? (or is group of 20 4D VLIW-units per SIMD possibility?)

Hmm, its been a while since I played around with it. Could be that it was the original ppt with MS office drm, too. Not saying I think its 100% legit; saying that the evidence of an underlined spell check word isn't conclusive to disprove, IMO.
It's all part of the fun!

Spell/grammar check is not part of the file, it does not get rendered into a pdf, printed out etc. At least that's how it works with Word 2003. Would be quite silly if it worked somewhere else - you'd have to add all the words unkown words to the dictionary or ignore them. Quite a lot unnecessary work.
It would be quite dissapoining if true. >150W and positioned against GTX 1GB? That's almost a step backwards! Much less shaders, similar rest of chip and still similar Wattage? Something must have gone very wrong if that was the final result.

I just tried it with Office 2010 powerpoint save as pdf, and it didn't keep the underlined. I wonder if using the Adobe PDF converter plug in does it? well, actually I don't care that much, so... meh.
Could just be Office Powerpoint with Rights Management Server enabled.

It doesn't do it under 2003, 2007 or 2010, spell check etc. only works in edit mode. the file gets freaking CONVERTED if it's in PDF format.

O-freaking-K. It's still not evidence of shit either way.
yes.
Looks like a mix and match of Turks and Barts info.
Also don't recall ever seeing the number of SIMDs on a slide before.
