Basically:

Barts Pro is faster than GTX460
Barts XT is faster than HD5850

Info came from Napoleon, a chinese info leaker who's quite accurate regarding to ATi's products in the past (info about 800 SP RV 770 & Cypress die size for instance, all way before release time, IIRC).

So, the landscape is going to be like this ? HD 5870 > Bart XT > HD 5850 > Bart Pro > GTX 460 1 GB ?
Bart XT ~ GTX 470 for 60% power consumption and die size ?? Priced @ US$ 199 it WILL be a killer, 8800 GT effect from the red camp instead !
Isn't it overkill if 960 NI shaders is comparable to 1440 Evergreen shaders (speculate a little, I know clocks are different)? That would be a 50% performance jump if they're competing at equal number of shaders.

That's for 67xx series too. Wonder what 68xx brings. If this is all true, ATi has some wonder engineers and chip architects
