no it's not, especially when both the gpu's come from the same manufacturer, there are reasons why devs made those claims, i posted in the op, neogaf was the forum that confirmed 160 shaders, so i don't get why you posted that link.

R500 and R700 class shaders are not comparable. Also, the Espresso implementation has extra customisation to R700, it's not copy pasted.

But the most basic argument I have is: Espresso has several times the transistor count of Xenon, and GPUs  are easily parallelisable. If it doesn't perform better, WTF are the extra transistors for?
