New rumor about ATI Southern Islands

[Erklat]

Lol you guys fed a 50 page thread with conclusions based solely on misinformation ATi themselves might be leaking.

I will not make any conclusion except I don't like the way they named their series. We were all kind of used to *870 being higher mainstream
thing to get. Reintroducing Pro/XT/whatever schemes is not necessary nor welcome imho.

So, based on these rumors we have atm, if you skipped 5870, but you want it's successor, that would be 6890?
Pardon me, I suppose this was answered many times, but I don't have the time nor will to go through 50 pages of speculations

EDIT: There I go, answered

You mean 6970 right?

[Erklat]

You mean 6970 right?

See, it is even worse. Yeah, that's it. I made my guess based on common
sense and past experiences, but there is apparently lack of any in this.

Yeah but it's different when all the options are there, you were just guessing, but if the plan goes through you'll at least see all the numbers, and any review you read will have the following info.

6990 = x2
6970 = 5870 replacement
6950 = 5850 replacement
6870 = 5770 replacement
6850 = 5750 replacement

[Eagleclaw]

Well done, right on the mark!

See now...this is not only common sense but logical

that's right hey, I mean of course a multi-billion dollar company doesn't know anywhere near as much about their products as a kiddo sitting at home trolling forums,

oh by the way, do you want some failsauce with that hotdog?

[ToxAvenger]

No it's not. I hope you're trolling, cause this is seriously logic fail

I think you completely missed the point.

you are so naive...do you think ATI is doing this cause it's smart or logical or do you think they're doing it to trick ppl into thinking a card is better than it actually is? They're turning into Nvidia...

so so naive. I'm sure you're the type that would lick a man's balls too as long as he's rich and owns a company.

Your mom must be so proud

PS. 6870 > 5870 OH WAIT IT'S JUST A 5770!

"rename"

I don't think the word means what some of you think it means. To "re" something, it has had to named before. What was Barts named before, in terms of consumer product? Nothing. To name something different from what you expect it to be named is not renaming.

And to compared this with putting a new sticker on an old product to sell as new. That's beyond ridiculous.
