(ATi's r420 aka Radeon X800 and nVidia's nv40 aka GeForce 6800 each have 6
Vertex Shader units)
R520 apparently has 8!

basicly it means more geometry push and lighting power. go ATi !

That is great news.. i was thinking about getting an x800, but it seems that
r520 may be significantly faster than the 800 or 850 in some cases. I can
wait until spring.. my 9700 Pro will continue to kick ass up until then.

How many pixel shader units?

Yes isn't it amazing? With each passing year they add more shader
units, more pixel units, higher clock rates, etc. So brilliant!!!!
