    I expect HD6950 little under performance of GTX480, TDP 200-220W and price under 300$
    HD6970, +20% on GTX480 (in game), TDP 250-275W and price under 400$.

    Good lord, why are the simpletons always the stubborns too ?

    It has been the rule of thumb in the past that, the top single-GPU of a new generation usually beats/matches the double-GPU of last generation in performance and heat/power, with almost same price of the last gen single-GPU. I want to see Cayman doing it, otherwise it will be a "fake" new generation.
    By your logic Nvidia should still be on the 200 series of cards since the 300 series did not out pace the GTX 295. Also, since the 400 series has no dual gpu variant, the 500 series can't possibly exist in any shape or form until a 400 series dual gpu is made. Only after Nvidia produces that dual gpu variant, can they proceed to make a high end single chip 500 series by your logic.

    Well I'm going to call Antilles the ATI 9800 series11.2X40 (naming scheme as follows - 9xxx denotes a herald to the old performance king, the x8xx denotes performance range, xx00 denotes i needed a longer name, series 11.xxxx denotes the DX11 nature of the architecture, xx.2xxx denotes 2gpucores and the x40 denotes manufacturing process of 40nm so there).
    All who want my 9800 series 11.2X40 sign up below , buy it now and I'll throw in a 9800 series 11.2X40SE for free when they are released 2 months down the line

    for those that are anxious for Cayman, this will be the 9600 Series.

    So which is going to be before you'll indulge in calling the 6-series "new gen"? New process or new performance level?

    And may I come with a kind suggestion? Stop bickering about a couple of digits. Numbering/naming is a marketing move and thus not really relevant on a tech forum.
    They could call them "The Pink Love" -series for all I care... features and performance (or performance/watt) is what matters by the end of the day.

    Also just out of curiosity: Nvidia has also been playing with numbers at least for the past 3-4 gens yet you don't seem to be so adamant about it when that happens - Are you biased?

    in the time it took ATI to go from 2xxx to 6xxx, nvidia went from 8xxx to 5xx
    thats 5 vs 8 generations. even though its only been 4 years?

    8 generations?? Maybe 5 if you want to count GT300 series, wich is for OEM's:

    8800 series
    9800 series
    200 series
    *300 series*
    400 series

    And from ATi:

    HD2000 series
    HD3000 series
    HD4000 series
    HD5000 series
    HD6000 series

    IMHO ATi is 1 generation ahead, or at least 6 months ahead.

    for the 100 series and 300 series, there where actually some OEM only GPUs being made, like GT 310 or 320

    and the rumor is a 580 is coming, so i counted that too, even though its not 100% sure, but matches their style.

    so 5 vs 7

    You have

    1: 8xxx - retail and OEM
    2: 9xxx - retail and OEM
    3: 1xx series : OEM only, GT 120 for example

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product...gt_120_us.html

    4: 2xx series: retail and OEM
    5: 3xx series: OEM only, GT320 for example

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product...gt_320_us.html

    6: 4xx series: retail and OEM
    rumoured 5xx series would be nr. 7

    While ati has only 5 series, from 2k to 6k.

    for nvidia it was more like

    8800 series
    8800 series
    8800 series
    9800 series
    9800 series
    9800 series
    9800 series
    9800 series
    9800 series
    200 series
    *300 series*
    400 series



    na, i'm just kidding. i don't get why people get so angry about product naming and new generations.

    6870 are the same to the 5870 as the 5770 was to the 4870/4890. just because it doesn't follow the x770 naming scheme everyone is going nuts. seriously guys, get a grip!

    look at the price/performance and you'll see where these cards belong. there's a good fight between the 6850/6870 and the gtx460/oc'ed in the mainstream gpu market - both, ati and nvidia, offer decent performance for a very good price

    Is this the "AMD Cayman info (or rumor)" thread or the "I am pissed about the Number Scheme" thread?

    I am hoping Cayman can reach or exceed 5970, that's about it really. We need some leakage

    I think HD6950 will at least match GTX480 if Cayman is really > Cypress size. Barts gets 5850 performance where Cypress was 30% larger. Granted, Cayman apparently has more changes done to it than Barts, and a bigger memory controller, but even assuming the same efficiencies, Cayman XT should be pushing 5970+ territory. Of course, Antilles is going to be nuts

    Yeah, GT 300 series was used for notebooks as well

    I'm curious about something else guys - the naming scheme.

    If AMD keeps doing this, enxt series will be 7000 series, at the end 2011 8000 series, that means in ~24 months we will have Radeon 9800 ...again

    I feel old.

    Whats interesting is that the R300 came out in 2002, so being back to the 9800's in 2012 would mean 10 exactly generations in 10 years. Pretty awesome

    this is the same heaven screenshot that appeared over a month ago and was proven faked/photoshopped. the chart just represents the fps from this nerfed screenshot.

    we don't know if there's some truth to the screenshot, but it's obvious that it was edited (compare the fonts of the different results to a legit screenshot of the scores and you'll notice the difference)

    Why are people expecting the 6890(6870?) > 5890?

    The 5870 wasnt better then the 4870X2?
