6970 is looking to be same amount lower than 5970, so it should be a bit faster than 480 but not much.512SP version MAY match it.
25% less silicon and same performance = huge proffit margin making gpu ... nvidia doesnt have anything to counter that .... they need a shrink asap

exactly ... i expect big things from antiles and cayman
