Discrepancies in Anandtech's tech preview?

[Blitzkrieg]

i think mistakes like this are common from cnn, to prime time news
typical
beyond3d is one of the few places u can go to expect a decent review with none of this brainwashing garbage u get from others.
anands been like this for ages

It's error city out there... From Anandtech to Hexus to Tom's (I know, I know...) How does 8 pipelines with 2 TMUs each from Hexus or 256-bit DDR2 running on a 250MHz Quad pumped bus for 1GHz (Tom's) sound...?

Interesting tidbits:

- Memory controller: LMA II Optimised (not LMA III?)
- 350 MTris/s (FP Array?)
- On-chip TV encoder so only decoder required
- 2x 400MHz 10-bit integrated RAMDACs

Edit: Not all Hexus' errors...

The daftest part of Anand's whole preview is

NVIDIA provided us with Doom3 scores that indicated a 40% advantage over the Radeon 9700 Pro.

Aha! So this translates as "the unreleased NV30 beats the R300 with unspecified drivers on an unspecified build of an unreleased game by 40%. We can be sure of these figures because NVidia told us so."

Just ridiculous really, whether or not the NV30 is that much faster than the R300. I mean, the demo they are quoting is even called nvdemo3! Could ATI release "atidemo3" results, for example, which show them handily beating the NV30?

GF4 already had that, nothing new.

Really? FWIR they are 350MHz 8-bit on GF4.

Why would they simply use a chart nVidia supplied them which purported concrete information about an ATI product without verifying the information beforehand?

I think you know the answer to that question.

Ok, it's part of both
