More ATI R600 rumors... hopefully it isn't one
During the last couple of weeks one could read a lot of so called 'news' about the upcoming graphics chip generation from AMD/ATI. What me really annoyed was the sheer ignorance that turned most of the rumors into facts right away. Without even thinking about it for a second many sites including ours presented the 'most final specifications' read out from the final silicon itself.
Please excuse us for acting like some wicked monkeys! Confronted with the best looking female counterpart one could imagine standing right beside a huge pile of bananas our brain goes crazy from time to time.
Anyway... the rumor I was talking about is more a feature the R600 definitely needs to survive the next years: HDMI. The implementation of this nifty little abbreviation is needed in order to play HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc in HD resolutions and to benefit from their full potential.
You want to read more? Then hop over to TheInquirer once more and read the whole story.

I personally prefer to sort things out that smell like bogus - so should anybody else...

and what do tha inq say, and we say, RUMOR CRAP :roll:
IMO, either stop posting Inquirer links or stop flaming people who read the articles that are posted.
Of course people are going to believe an article entitled "Final R600 Specs Revealed" because the title implies that that there is some truth in what has been posted. The News section on the home page should be reserved for confirmed news and not baseless rumors from sites like The Inquirer and VR-Zone.
Enough is enough.
Still that would be neat.....though I have nothing to plug that into. At least not that I know of.....
