Maybe there are two of them?
Which is a Pitcairn.......
"Its like Cape Verde, just twice better."
"So its Pitcairn?"
"Yes its like Pitcairn just downclocked"
"So its custom GPU?"
"Yes
Can we talk something like 1.76~2.56 TFLOPS?
I don't know, I was just joking considering how vague is "Cape Verde with twice possibilities".Can we talk something like 1.76~2.56 TFLOPS?
It could basically be the same number of shaders at Cape Verde, but updated shaders with whatever tweaks will be in the 8xxx class of GPUs, plus higher clock, and then this ESRAM. With all those tweaks maybe they can squeeze out ~2X the performance over the current 7770 type GPU.

I am pretty confident that you shoudn't be confident in your source's confidence of his confidential information.
The guy is a dev, but I take all info that I see with a grain of salt regardless.
Its ok, just don't give very specific stuff, because someone can get into trouble (codenames, emails and exact performance for example). But you could ask him could he be more specific about GPU performance than "twice Cape Verde".
Or Cape Verde core with more alus. Would make sense if they go with eDRAM to stick to Cape Verde, its 128 bit bus and it has best FLOP/Watt ratio.

Does anyone remember when the Xenon document leaked in spring 2004?
I sure do.
Actually, the Xenon block diagram was leaked in early 2004, I think in Feb of that year.

It was leaked the day after MS presented in private to EA, I was in the presentation along with about 100-150 other people (no I didn't leak it).
I don't know if they ever tracked down who in the meeting leaked it, that leak probably guaranteed that EA are being much more careful internally with the information this time.
Leaks happen as the number of people with the information increases, most seem to come from none technical people, and usually more junior people from what I can tell, probably a function of having less to lose.

lherre seems to think the difference between Durango/Orbis and Wii U is greater than x3.
And he specifically mentions the GPU when he says this.
