To be very cheap and have 1600SPs.
This is the breakdown of the features of the upcoming Radeon HD 5870:
- 1600 shader processors
- 384bit (some point to 256bit) memory interface
- HD 5870 will cost $299
- Release on September 22nd
This also was rumored to be the RV840 chip, or the Radeon HD 5770 card. I would be surprised if AMD did already have those cards running so soon - the RV870 will come a lot sooner.
The 384-bit memory interface would be a requirement to "open a can of whoop ass" on Nvidia, but the $299 price would mean a 256bit interface with some higher speed GDDR5, which would deliver 160GB/s, or around what the GeForce GTX 285 can do - which would still be great for this price point.
