We already reported that the prepared for release card with API DX11 support, known as cypress in the composition of AMD evergreen, can be sold, also, under the general name series radeon HD 5800. The cypress XT version will be called Radeon HD 5870, and Cypress PRO will be called Radeon HD 5850.
AMD cypress will have an aggressive price, i.e., low, for successful and competitive sales in comparison with NVIDIA products - GeForce GTX 285 (from $315). The cost Of cypress XT (Radeon HD 5870) is expected at the $299 level.
Probably, 40- nm technical process for GPU production allows a low cost for top- class card (according to various reports and assumptions, RV870 GPU Cypress will have stream processors either to 100% more than in RV770 or up to 50%).
