I can't be 100% sure these numbers are accurate, I contacted a befriended AIB a few weeks ago and asked for some help. The results I got are after submitting our timedemo scripts for the benchmarks listed. They indicated the benchmarks were run on a X1800 XT and X1800 Pro, I however cannot verify them. As can be seen from the numbers a OC-ed X850XT will never reach that level of performance. We'll have to wait and see when the actual boards show up, for now treat these as preliminary, just another piece of the puzzle. I did write 'these numbers are provided AS-IS' for a reason in the introduction, they can only be verified when the actual boards show up. Sofar ATI has not gotten in touch with me yet, which usually means I'm pretty much spot on.
