I have been thinking about the actual speculators, rumors, ideaguys and all that ... the point of one of the guys admitting to know more information and purposelly releasing it in bits to tease and hype the audience ... while it may be annoying at a view i don't take that as the reason for this thread or my idea i'll explain below, I might even take this as a welcome, cause people might thing ideaman is just wanting attention and stuff but ... i don't accuse him directly as he admitted he has more information ... a jurnalist .. right, but i sensed some weird preplexing of the suggestions on the kits change in hardware and increase in power.
I think some people do know more and actually know 99% or even 100% about something, not accusing anyone, but they actually PLAY as the "speculator" while wildly making this super duper suspiciously accurate and sensible speculation, so they get away with it not being actual leaker but actually this detective guy ninja ... while this IS what genuinely is likely to get info, but a chance remains that one or some of them are the source who know stuff for sure but are playing and actually letting loose and distracting information to make it seem like it's a rumor that say a stupid marketing guy would say, whatever.
Look this article ... and what it says ... it mentiones the "change in architecture" and a bunch of things which i didn't saw from the "sources" over the net - this means the blog has some exclusive information that at the time only the blog writer knew but there was no discussion of the add-in cards prior thraktors post hmm ? Because neogaf specifically asked about the "latest HD 7770 rumor" and people replied it was just a "wild speculation" from the thraktor guy.

Now SO MUCH MORE TIME LATER this guy makes this big detective thing ... supposedly this was not theorized anywhere else, and i can tell you i was investigating a lot but not before the (actually 2 later than the final dev kit news so this might be my losing ground, someone check and help me out) cause i never seen that and i did CLOSELY read most of the pages in neogaf threads except the first thread.
I have never ever seen the talk of "add-in" theory in the time prior thraktor while nintengen had this idea for 2 months claiming it comes from a source that's on neogaf, and these sources are, bgassassin, ideaman, iherre, and some other detectives ... i do not know Thraktor to be named anywhere as a source or rumor guy before ... but he posts rarely too so remembering all those neogaf pages is almost impossible.
Excuse me if im wrong ... we just need the confirmation if the "add-in" card was theorized, suggested, by anyone else before the final dev kit news, and also if there was the "addin" theory before thraktor.
So if you can confirm this 2 things ... something is beeing fed to us and hidden, those wild rumors might then end up true ... but who knows if it's genuine or somehow orchestrated.
However the counter-point about not 28nm is the news that AMD is reluctant to focus on 28nm even tho GlobalFoundries made the milestone on the 32nm process ... same reports says the 32nm process yields have improved significantly.
Obviously the reason for this is the way to bypass NDA , nintendo nijas do read neogaf (who doesn't) , even pacther ...
