Radeon 6000-series GPU Shots Leaked - Hardware & Software

so the benchmark is fake

It could be real, but it would be a Barts GPU, not a Caymen like everyone assumed.

so the benchmark is fake

It doesn't have to be fake. It probably is though. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] Actually looking now, the performance of Barts is rumored to be on par with a 5850, so yeah, then benchmark is fake.

They should just call them the codename and be done with it.

It could take us like 5 minutes to come up with a much better naming scheme. Why do they seem to change it every 1-2 generations.

they've used the same naming scheme for 6 generations what are you idiots bitching about

Did you not read what I posted? The naming scheme is changing.

The naming scheme is the same what are you talking about? It's just being applied a little differently. The GPU's are new the name is exactly the same. They name according to market segment and performance.

What are you all talking about. Here's your reliable source chain. sep 3 [url]http://news.ati-forum.de/index.php/news/34-amdati-grafikkarten/1491-amd-bald-mit-rebranding[/url] sep 7 [url]http://www.guru3d.com/news/ati-might-rename-radeon-5570-to-6770/[/url] sep 8 [url]http://www.nordichardware.com/news/71-graphics/41060-amd-barts-launches-in-october-as-radeon-hd-6800.html[/url] Barts is 6700, Cayman is 6800, Antilles is 6900, etc. There is no reason at all for ati to play the rebranding game.

I saw Radeon 6000 series and I expected the ancient series. But no it's the HD series... Should really fix that title.

I think you're thinking of the x600

No more reliable than that benchmark.

[QUOTE=don818;24833065]I saw Radeon 6000 series and I expected the ancient series. But no it's the HD series... Should really fix that title.[/QUOTE] There's no such thing as the Radeon 6000 anyways

[QUOTE=Falubii;24833839]I don't see the issue. No more reliable than that benchmark.[/QUOTE] Goes against the leaked drivers and everyone else's info. Specifically charlie (semiaccurate) called it a load of shit.

charlie (semiaccurate) [I]is[/I] a load of shit though

[QUOTE=M_B;24833830]I think you're thinking of the x600[/QUOTE] I remember the Radeon 7000 series and 8000 series I assumed there would be a 6000. But I checked after I posted and no luck.

[QUOTE=don818;24841131]I remember the Radeon 7000 series and 8000 series I assumed there would be a 6000. But I checked after I posted and no luck.[/QUOTE] I think they jumped into the middle of it to have higher numbers than Nvidia.

[QUOTE=M_B;24840294]charlie (semiaccurate) [I]is[/I] a load of shit though[/QUOTE] Sure had fermi pinned, didn't he?

[QUOTE=ShaRose;24850363]Sure had fermi pinned, didn't he?[/QUOTE] not at all except for the power consumption

[QUOTE=ShaRose;24850363]Sure had fermi pinned, didn't he?[/QUOTE] oh god, not this thread too, please just...no...let's not turn this into a Charlie/Semi-Accurate thread.

[QUOTE=ShaRose;24850363]Sure had fermi pinned, didn't he?[/QUOTE] anything that wasn't already expected/obvious? no. that alone is irrelevant, though. the dude has a long history of making shit up. sure, every now and then it might turn out to be true, but so much is false/biased that there's hardly any reason to trust him as a valid source of information. he's like the :foxnews: of videocards

SemiAccurate should really have its name changed. It's giving itself too much credit.

slight amount of foreshadowing there: Creating two different chips to compete with the another card that has two different amounts of memory available. Paranoia-driven overkill, they must be genuinely afraid of the 460.

Paranoia-driven overkill, they must be genuinely afraid of the 460.[/QUOTE] If they were afraid of the 460 they'd lower prices, since they can easily and still make a profit. I don't see any price drops.

[QUOTE=ShaRose;24878025]If they were afraid of the 460 they'd lower prices, since they can easily and still make a profit. I don't see any price drops.[/QUOTE] Lowering prices is the last resort a company would use when they can't pump more out of the chip. Why kill your own profit pre-maturely if you don't even have the chip made yet, if AMD does intend to lower prices, it will do so much later, once the cards are next to each other in stores. It does seem like they're trying to hard-counter the GTX 460, if they were confident they could beat it with the 6000 series would they really put two cards into it?
