A significant jump, if true.
AMD hasn't officially announced anything with regards to the next generation Radeon HD series. We know it's coming, but there's no official word on models, specifications or clock speeds yet.
What we do have are potential leaks and the speculation that comes with all of that. This chart has been leaked from two different sources showing the performance leap that will come from the Radeon HD 6700 "Barts" series. It's all unconfirmed, but we certainly hope that they're true, given the claims of significant performance improvements.
The chart below comes from Napoleon of ChipHell fame.

Says the guy whose name as NVIDIA written all over it.
Nah. Not for how much I use it now.
Think of it this way, it's exactly like how the current 5770 compare against 4870.
I must just be an AMD fanboy, but don't you understand the AMD naming convention? Obviously the 67xx will not be the top of the line AMD GPU meant to replace the 5870, the 68XX series will become available shortly after the 67s, of this I'm certain.
You missed the number. It's not the 6870, it's the 6770, meant to replace the 5770, not the 5870. It's pretty similar in performance to the 5850 much like the 5770 is similar to the 4850. I think the reason for these coming out before the 68xx series is to compete with the great value of the GTX460. I just hope it bring down the prices of the 5850's so I can CF mine.
because the 6700's series are replacing the 5700's series, not the 5800's. The 6800's will be replacing the 5800's when they come out.
The chart says "6700 Series: Twice the Horsepower".
...
Not much of a difference at all from one 5850 to a 6750 going by that chart except power consumption :-/
"No, No it isn't."
