AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series Coming Next Week, Starts At $310

@ 2010/12/08
The cooler (of the 6970) is nearly identical to the cooler found on Radeon HD 6800 series and the price is said to be around $450. AMD Radeon HD 6950 is the little brother that according to our sources was the card that first lived up to AMD's demands.

If we look at the specifications we see that AMD raise the bar compared to the mid-range series Radeon HD 6800. With a new shader architecture it hasn't just introduced a more efficient handling of the stream processors, but also increase the total. The exact number is still unknown - which means AMD is keeping the lid on. At the same time it keeps to the 256-bit bus (NVIDIA uses 384-bit) but uses fast GDDR5 circuits to reach good bandwidth.
