    Well the guy that I talked talked to is a family friend that has worked at AMD for over 5 years now, I don't think he would lie or even miss guide me, its not in his nature. He is not marketing. he is in engineering, specifically varificiation of silicon but on the CPU side of things. I don't know who Hellbinder knows or got his information from, but I can pertty much undoubtly say that site is utter BS.

    The apparent indignation of some B3D mods about what people are prepared to believe is disappointing. Most everyone in this thread has remained respectful and is just having clean fun in what amounts to a purely speculative discussion. I remember thinking how Wavey's tradition of dropping cryptic hints was frustrating to the extreme, but certainly it was less intrusive. No offense guys, but the B3D forum community is capable of maintaining a proper perspective without the paternalism. We know you're itching to reveal facts, but don't expect others to carry your crosses with you. :smile:

    Hellbinder is.. hb.. he's like the r520, 40% faster than G70 when it's three months from launch. 10% faster at launch

    It's not that. This review was a scam, probably for the sole purpose of making money via Google hits.

    Oh, puh-lease. Are you really going to make me go get a link of Wavey threatening people with frying pans over 16/24/32 for R520 "pipes"? :razz:
