F1N3ST: Yes there is no hard evidence that AMD will make this new cpu, but there was no hard evidence of conroe at the start of last year either but it happened, and AMD a better at keeping there promises than what Intel are. As for the 80 core, theres no hard evidence of that, they are just saying they have done it, im not saying they havnt, and even if they have, theres no way in the world it will be used in desktops computers anytime soon, or in the near future. I have already read, sry i dont have the link but i'll post it as soon as i come across it again, that Intel stated that 80 cores is possible but never become reality.
As for the 8800, well i honestly dont care, the r600's will wipe the floor with nvidia, especially if your a rich/wealthy person put them in crossfire. (hard to believe, i cant think of any PSU that has 4x6pin connecters). They have already got benchmarks of the r600 with over a total bandwidth 140 GB/s on GDDR4. The 8800gtx only has a total bandwidth of 86.4GB/s. Do you want hard evidence for that too
