HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The R600-based ATI Radeon HD 2900-series products support 128-bit HDR rendering. AMD has also upped the ante on anti-aliasing support. The ATI Radeon HD 2900-series supports up to 24x anti-aliasing. NVIDIA[ch8217]s GeForce 8800-series only supports up to 16x anti-aliasing. AMD[ch8217]s ATI Radeon HD 2900-series also possesses physics processing.

At the top of the DirectX 10 chain, is the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT. The AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900-series features 320 stream processors, over twice as many as NVIDIA[ch8217]s GeForce 8800 GTX. New to the ATI Radeon HD 2900-series are integrated HDMI output capabilities with 5.1 surround sound.

Stream processors are combined. It does not mean you are getting 320 Unified Shaders but a fraction of the 320 based on the mathematical shader approach which at this point is still a bit classified until ATi issues an official technical doc release. Be assured it is much higher than Nvidia's current offering.
