New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[blindbox]

Funny how all slides leaked to the internet except one all uses codenames, not product name.

I realize there aren't 100% answers yet, but I've been following this thread since the beginning, and I just keep getting more confused...

First BARTS was the Mid Range replacement for the 5770 (6770 for <$200) approching 5850/5870 performance, to be released in Mid October.
Then there are conflicting reports saying theres a delay on it's release until November...
Personally I'm hoping the delay is on the Caymen parts (5900 performance?)...

What really sucks is the fact that I've been holding on to my 4870 for quite some time.
I'm not a huge gamer, but this card is getting a little long in the tooth, and I'm ready to upgrade my GPU!
I'll hold onto this card for a few more weeks, but if anyone has any legit info I'm all ears...

This is an insider info request (within NDA of course), is it worth waiting for?

Thanks........ Dave
