Welp, because if anything, <$400's where all the money's at after the halo product.
And GK104 serves to highlight Tahiti's issues more than GCN's adaptability and perf/mm (+W) in general.

Keep in mind that the top AMD chip hasn't been the epitome of efficiency (Barts vs Cayman, Pitcairn vs Tahiti), and a lot of front-end bottlenecks present at the performance level of Tahiti/GK104, are much less present at even the GTX580/Pitcairn level. And GK106, if there is one, still isn't ready.

As for Tahiti... AMD's launching a Ghz edition, EOLing the old stuff (?) and probably pricecutting it $50.
Not sure if they can drive the power usage down with lower voltage, but they sure should start using crappier PCBs like nVidia is doing now :v
