I know that it launched with a custom hybrid of 7600/7800 architecture and Kutaragi originally wanted two Cells and no GPU at all, but when they originally vetoed the latter and decided a GPU was necessary and theoretical tech demos started showing up like the first MGS4 demo, weren't devs under the impression they were targeting something like an 8800? I swear I remember reading that but I'm having trouble finding evidence. Maybe it was more like they were expecting a fully featured 7800 and got something lesser, then was then even downgraded once more from its original spec? Please shred my illusion here
