There is plenty of new info there (assuming it's new, since I haven't exactly been following DeltaChrome news lately)....

So we'll have a card with a 300-390 MHz core and 700 MHz DDR(1).

11.2 GB/s bandwidth
2400-3120 Pixel And Texel Fillrate

Hmm well if they're aiming at 9500 Pro it might be interesting but if this intended to compete with GF FX and 9700 Pro it's kinda sad.

Pixel and Vertex Shaders somewhere in between what R300 and NV30 can offer.

I do have to wonder though how they will pull of 16x MSAA with this card. (though this preview only states 2-6x)
Not to mention SSAA.
Especially without color and z compression.

Ooops just read the last two pages: it's not due in ~half a year.
Man this will be like TNT2 in 6 months.

It is primarily aimed at the mobile market.
And there is a perfectly good active thread about it.
