| BlueFalcon said: Also, people these rumors calling it "12 Shader Cores" or "18 Shader Cores" is flat out incorrect. It's 12 or 18 Compute Units. Each Compute Unit houses 64 Stream/Shader processors. So if you are talking about Shaders, it would be 768 or 1152. A Compute Unit is not a "Shader Core" as it houses 64 Shader cores inside of it. 1 Compute Unit has 64 ALUs (shader cores). To say a GPU has "12 Shader Cores" is like saying a car's horsepower is 8 cylinders....Interchanging Compute Units with Shader Cores is flat out incorrect.

Good info, thank you. I'll update OP to remove all that talk as its clearly being misrepresented.
