+1 to that...AMD is really not as much interested at HD 5000 now as some still believe. Or maybe PR is. But engineers are looking forward to next gen. HD 5870 Eyefinity is almost released, maybe the team which worked on Evergreen will release HD 5890 in summer (if so, the card is entering the last phase before release now), but HD 5000 becomes forgotten now. I mean, NVIDIA totaly sucked for them, they are looking forward to the biggest change from R600, what is NVIDIA with their half year late Fermi than?

As a result, I am afraid AMD will lower prices not due to Fermi finally comes to market, but due to current gen is almost in half of it's lifetime. Than some pricecut in october/november time and next we have new line...
