Not to say all the rumors don't have some truth to them, but for example, what makes the "based on a 7xxx" rumor more or less valid than the "6670" rumor? Both sides have picked the rumors that suit their agenda the best and dug in.
We might not get any jaw dropping game changing revelations, but until the white sheets leak, everyone needs to keep and open mind.
Well the 7xxx and 6670 rumor aren't mutually exclusive. Because the 6670 rumor didn't say it was using one, it said it had 6670 like performance. So you could have a low - midrange 7xxx chip in there that is giving performance like a 6670. Just because a chip is from a new product line, doesn't mean it out performs everything from the previous product line.
I can easily see a SINGLE 7750 - 7770 being in there. The 7750 would be a 7xxx line chip that gave performance in the range of (though a bit ahead of) a 6670. The 7750 fits both of those rumors perfectly, except I doubt MS would pay for a chip with disabled parts. More likely its based around a 7770 with its clock speed lowered.
