This is deceptive marketing. Considering the price of the 5770 and the 4770, the 6870(6770) is going to be one of the worst generations ever, as their price increase was the most expensive ever, but at the same time, the least amount of improvement(the 5770 was a lot closre to the 4870, the 4770 beat the 3870).

We might not know pricing, but we all know that AMD is going to charge more than 200 dollar pricing for these cards, even the 6850. I lost confidence in AMD pricing after they charged 239 dollars for the 5830 and will lose even more faith if the naming scheme is true which seems certain at this point.
