I believe BARTS will be a 12 SIMD x80 (5-way VLIW)

Barts XT = 960 shaders (900MHz) with 48 Texture units and 256 bit memory with 32 ROPs
Barts Pro = 800 shaders (800MHz) with 40 Texture units and 256 bit memory with 16 ROPs

They will replace 5770 and 5750, Barts XT will have 90% performance of 5850 and Barts Pro will be like 5830.

CAYMAN to be a 24 SIMD x80 (5-way VLIW)

Cayman XT = 1920 shaders (900MHz) with 96 Texture units and 256 bit memory with 48 ROPs (not 32)
Cayman Pro = 1760 shaders (750MHz) with 88 Texture units and 256 bit memory with 32 ROPs

They will replace 5870 and 5850, Cayman XT will be 10-20% faster than 5870 at high resolutions with Filters on like 1920x1080 4x AA in DX-9/10 games. 50% more performance in DX-11 games
