Current rumors put RV870 as an evolution of RV770, which is an evolution of R600. Where as the next generation after RV870, which we'll just call RV970, will be more of a revolution and a much more drastic change from the way ATI's current GPUs work. All just rumors ofcourse, but still interesting to know.
