Someone under NDA would never dream of giving out numbers like Historia did, then say "i'm under NDA, can't say ". Do you imagine DeanoC or nAo do that?!

Yep he sounds more like nirey or the other fake/wannabe insiders...

However are those numbers completely erroneous, I'm asking because I don't know...

I'm wondering if the RSX is based off the 7600 tech with a little more pipelines/shaders... seems to be cheaper to make than the 7900 series...

If you look at the benchmarked fill-rates at the bottom of this page:

http://www.beyond3d.com/previews/nvidia/g73/index.php?p=05

which are for 7600GT, using 8 ROPs and with the same amount and speed of GDDR3 memory as connected to RSX, you can get a fair idea of the peak capability of RSX.

More ROPs are unlikely to make for better performance - this is because 7600GT's ROPs have a theoretical fill-rate advantage of 224% over 6600GT, but are only achieving about 167% gain over 6600GT (Z-fill is the best possible scenario - the other scenarios show a much lower performance gain for 7600GT).

However, with the chip size of 126mm² is half the stated chip size from E3---300+. So there is some big things missing from your theory....

From what I understand to what he said... I think he means the gain in terms of efficiency...
