Report: AMD Launching Radeon HD 6000 Oct. 18
Ready for Barts?
AMD will be launching its new generation of GPUs soon enough – that much was never in question. What's been secretive is when. Reports are now coming that the official launch will happen on or around October 18.
Nordic Hardware's sources claim that AMD will be launching the Radeon HD on October 18 (or October 19, depending on time zone) with the following specifications:
The Radeon HD 6870 will supposedly be a complete reference product that vendors will simply brand themselves with flashy stickers and fierce sounding names. On the other hand, the Radeon HD 6850 will be open for OEMs to customize their designs with layout changes and fancy cooling solutions.
Remember that this is still unofficial and AMD isn't providing any comment.

should be 6750 for Barts pro
and 6770 for Barts XT
I should have waited...

Go nVidia( out of GPU market )
Would seem that, going for the same TDP as before, only a minimal performance increase should be expected.
Guess I just have to sit and wait it out for the next die shrink.
no they're really not. where'd you get that information from, your grandmother?
It might take some time before they get the 30nm to the masses + current gen are really not bad, especially the 5700, I think they run pretty cool at 75*C full load and only 17W in idle. Then again, if you are able/willing to wait, it always seems prudent to just wait for the next gen for better price and maybe twice the performance. But to wait for next, next gen? You really need to have patience.
