The columns on the top (from left to right)
GPU model name, GPU clk/mem clk, memory type (GDDR4,3), Memory width, Memory Size, # of pipelines, Manufacturing process and suggested price.


very interesting...
US Prices i assume

Okay, nice to see that the clock speeds are indeed 750mhz now. This should show anywhere from a small improvement to a very noticeable improvement over any leaked benchmarks to date, if taking everything at face value here.

That chart doesn't make complete sense though, at least to me. I see that according to the chart ATI decided to copy nVidia with a "GX2" of their own, but why would they sell this card at the exact same price point as their top end x2800XTX card? Since it features two downclocked x2800GT cores it would be easier to market lower quality silicon with it, but that would imply they forsee some shortages of their high end cards... otherwise I would assume they would sell it at a higher price or somewhat lower price than their top model....

Things I noted:
No DDR cards.
Only 1 DDR2 card
Only 3 DDR4 cards

Only the GT and GTO have a 256bit memory bus. Everything else is either 512bit or 128bit.

And since when is the GTO ranked lower than a GT. :???: That will catch some poor buyers unawares...

Ditched the "SE" Super-Economy edition for a "LE" Lowest-Edition...

And somewhat of a blessing... until you reach the top 4 high end cards, each series (2300, 2600, 2800) denotes the shader count.
