    for Dx10, maybe 10-15% due to higher clocks and better efficiency of power, but the architecture changes i doubt will do much for efficiency of perf/watt, just perf/mm2
    I find around 11~12k proper for the Cayman 6870, sits right between 5870 and 5970 and beats the 480GTX (480 cuda) by about 15~20%

    That does not seem too high for me at all it's exactly what I would expect from anything that earns the name 6870. In fact the jump achieved from 4870 to 5870 was much more significant than that.

    Thus in my opinion, 11k Vantage is actually rather low for a generation change.

    But we can forgive AMD given the lack of 32nm production process.
