Turkish website Donanimhaber claim to have go their hands on official information regarding AMD's imminent release of Radeon HD 6850. After months of speculation, Donanimhaber reports that the Radeon HD 6850 is Barts Pro, after all, instead of Cayman Pro like initially expected. It will feature 800 SP, half of Cypress and the same as Juniper, but crucially, the new Northern Islands architecture may end up being significantly more efficient. The core clock is 775 MHz, and features 1GB GDDR5 at 4 GHz over a 256-bit bus. This translates to an identical memory bandwidth as the HD 5850.

The AIB price for the Radeon HD 6850 is said to be $175-$180, with the retail prices likely to end up in the $200 range. It appears that the HD 6850 is priced against the GTX 460 1 GB.
