AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 confirmed to be launched on 22.10.2010

On a serious note, I really hope the 6870 at least matches the 5870. I actually think it will, but lets wait and see, reviews should be out next week hopefully

Why do i suspect that these new "renamed" parts will be much competitive to its older, replaced brothers in real games than in 3DMark bench ? In 3DMark bench the old card shines for their abundant of raw shader power, but i sense this new gen chips employ better efficiency that free many bottlenecks in older gen chips to achieve better real world gaming performance.

Still no decent benchmarks or pricing though...
