7800 is *** compared to this

STRIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIREFOX GO!

(firefox icon comes to life and kicks the strider's but in an anime like way)

Wow, I emailed 3DLabs about the clock speeds and number of pixel pipelins on this card. Here is the response I got (I think this is great)-
Good morning and thank you for the e-mail! With regards to GPU clock speed and number of pixel pipelines is confidential information that cannot be shared with the public. What I can tell you though is that the Wildcat Realizm 800 comes with a two chip architecture that works in parallel (2x Realizm VPU's) that's managed by a third chip (VSU) for precise off load balancing. Along with 640MB of on board memory, this specific design provides you with the fastest geometry throughput performance for OpenGL environments.
What is so confidential about this information? What are they hiding? A 200 MHz clock speed with 2 pipelines? Hahaha
 
Haha! That would be ironic, you'd think they'd be pround to disclose that sort of info though? Maybe they don't know, lol? The parallel chip architecture sounds cool though, almost like dual core.
 
blimey, that'll be awesome, maybe they're gona come out with the exactly the same pipelines and clock speeds as current graphics cards and try to shadow that with the whole dual GPU thing, they might want people to be in wonder over what it could be and then they'll surprise everyone, in a way never done before...
"and here we have the new Wildcat Realizm 800, exactly the same clock speeds and pipelines as before, but forget that, it has dual GPU processing, just worry about that. Forget the other stuff....thats right drool over the dual GPU's" (italic part said in a hypnotic relaxing voice to brainwash you)

It is dual core/2 GPUs.
Oh yeah, that's right, I was thinking GPU so when it read VPU I wasn't thinking in ATI terms and glazed over it. It's almost try core but the third is only for control purposes apparently.
 
yeah, 2 processors for graphics and a third to control the other 2 controllers, hmm controlling controllers... :ohah:
