It reads somehow like this:

And what about stingray can be plugged in durango for bc? Sounds strange...

Two good observations. And people thought PS4 would be expensive with 8G GDDR5, and now durango suddenly gets full BC (add $50 to the BoM, and lots of bus contention to the performance...).

Yes, it sounds strange overall. One thing I read somewhere was a rumor that the ppc-cores were actually also the move-units...

Very unlikely. The ppc cores are "behind" the mmu of the processor. Move units would be porgrammed with ppu code, the rest with AMD code.. a total mess like the PS3 coding which developers like so much....

This is what I thought when I read it but let us MS surprise with what they actually engineered ;) I still think they could do some non-ordinary stuff. Interesting times for techie-people! :)
