Major points are that the X1800 architecture is extensible, flexible, and
programmable enough to be used for general computing applications (where
parallelism is key) like folding@home, and that the X1800XT performed 5 to 7
times faster than the Nvidia 7800GTX in the same folding@home test.
Very interesting, and promising news for the incumbent X1800XT and the
already available X1800XL. For the X1800XL's part though, it's still not
even close to enough to justify the price.
The price point for the X1800XL is just wrong
