Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.
According to sweclockers that's correct. http://translate.google.com/translat...el-med-cypress
I wouldn't put too much faith into their source as they keep calling it Northern islands but they expect Barts to be released first that is 256bit and gonna easily beat GTX 460 at price 2000 ~ 2500 SEK which should be around 230~$250 (tax differences and price variances taken into account).
Intel? Core i5-4670K @ 4.3 GHz | ASRock Extreme6 Z87 | G.Skill Sniper 2x8GB @ DDR4-1866 CL9 | Gigabyte GTX 970 OC Windforce 3x | Super Flower Titanium 1000W | ViewSonic VX2268wm 120Hz LCD | Phanteks PH-TC14PE | Logitech MX-518 | Win 7 x64 Professional | Samsung 850 EVO & 840 Pro SSDs

I'll just float this idea, I'm thinking if those benchmarks were real, they can only be from the Barts XT, it's the only chip that could match the GPUID profile we're seeing. If you look at the difference between the 3870 and the 4870 it would be possible for ATI to do this again. Especially if they planned to take their time with 6870.
Basically ATI isn't releasing a 'mid range' GPU their releasing a new top end and giving it a mid range name. It'll be priced as high midrange but it'll beat the 480, it'll be a huge psychological hit. Especially as nvidia's midrange chip is bigger than ATI current high end chip.
Sure it'll decimate their top end prices but they can just release the aforementioned 6950. They'll keep the 6870 name back for either a push into a big core in 2011 or 28nm depending on how nvidia react.
If it works as planned, ATI would have the DX11 market sewn up by the time nvidia can release on 28nm and still make a profit as they've already proved they don't have to drop prices in comparison to nvidia.
This is all theory, but the rumours I've read up until this point support it.
Most likely Barts XT will be close to 5850 and offer better price/performance than GTX 460. I'd bet in that case it'll also replace 5850 quickly since they'd be too close and people would be more inclined to buy a 6770. I wouldn't be surprised if 5850 price dropped down soon.
