Well, AMD named and set price for these cards based on the competition.Pure business.Nvidia screwed up, and were going to pay for it too.
I dont like the naming, its confusing.It isnt renaming tho.I dont like the price, but its a company, and a company that REALLY needs the money, so they will get as much as they can.
And to Tajoh who really got "upset" by price per mm2 on these.
Nvidia sell more power hungry bigger dies for the same or lower price, because their design is flawed, they have too.
And the same applies to Intel, selling 32nm westmere which is SMALLER than 45nm nehalem for 500-1000$ only.
They do it because they can, people are paying and dont have a competing product.
So if youre so pissed on AMD, than you should be equally pissed on Intel.
And dont get me started on 2 core westmere price vs die area thing ;-).

All in all ,if all these are true, im much more inclined to buy GTX 460 768mb version which really starts to get CHEAP.

OK, so you'd rather have a GTX 460, over a 5850..?

He obviously takes into account price difference, 460 1GB is 20% cheaper in my country, and 30% for the 768MB version.
