Not sure if this is common knowledge yet, but it's nice to see the 64-shader specification nailed down by an Ati rep.
The rumor is this 64-shader beast might hit the Ghz mark on the core. Zing!
Still 16 texture units though. Next gen is where the Nvidian and Ati architectures really start diverging in a big way. Ati will have tons of shaders compared to Nvidia, and Nvidia will have tons of TMUs compared to Ati.
It'll be real interesting seeing if either camp has a huge advantage in anything or if performance stays relatively close...
