In a conversation with an AMD employee, Polish website PCLab claim to have scored several vital details regarding AMD's much anticipated Radeon HD 6000 family. Most importantly, AMD is planning to release entry level / mainstream cards first, with the performance / enthusiast cards coming last, which is contrary to the regular trend.
PCLab also mentions that HD 6000 isn't the minor refresh as heavily rumoured, but features a series of minor improvements and optimizations which add up to make a card that is faster clock-for-clock and also more power efficient. Now that the 40nm TSMC process has sufficiently matured, and AMD has complete grasp of the process, the designers have been able to utilize the die space more efficiently.

However, for those seeking to create their own multi-monitor setup on a budget, look no further: AMD has announced a new, inexpensive Single-Link DisplayPort-to-DVI Adaptor which it claims will lower the cost of entry for a full 3-monitor Eyefinity set-up.
