Any rumor with an HD 79xx based GPU can be thrown in the trash as the author obviously made it up.

An HD 79xx GPU is far too big (die size), too hot (200+ watts) and too expensive to even be considered.

A rumor is one thing but an HD 79xx rumor is just someone trying to get his to his website.

About the bolded, do you think that an HD79xx could be more credible if done with a 22 20nm fab process?

That is, if TSMC gets it right this time.

After all, the leaked specs are from 2010, when 22/20 nm fab processes where supposed to be mature by 2013.

Pretty sure that was delayed to 2014 many months ago.

Doesn't matter anyways, a console with a something like a 7770/7850 level GPU/4GB RAM would be a beast of a console and a good leap over current gen, but some people don't seem to be satisified unless Sony and MS use GPUs that are out of the realm of possibility for a 2013 console.
