New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[tajoh111]

roadmap from chiphell:

Is that referring to performance or pricing. Because it is pricing which is likely, its looks like everything getting priced to what I suspected it would. A 6770 being priced like a 5830... ouch. I think the 6650 and 6670 have to stay at the pricing they are at because they still have to keep some cards under 100 dollars. Man though, if the 6970 gets priced at 699 or 799. The 6950 is priced like a 5970 and those cards are already 700 dollars. Man thats going to suck for the consumer. Makes me scared how pricey the black editions or limited editions will get. Want to replace the 4870x2 but man its going to be pricey.

If it is in regards to performance which is less likely, I think its pretty underwhelming to see the 6850 slower than a 5870.

It wouldn't surprise both are true and performance is as the chart shows as well as pricing is going up for almost the entire line up.
