[Rumour] ATI Radeon HD 5800 series refresh in summer

Reported by on Monday, January 18 2010 9:03 pm

Much like the Radeon HD 4890 last generation, ATI is rumoured to be preparing a refresh for its Cypress GPU. Details are unavailable at this stage. Whether it will be a die shrink, increase in shader counts, or just clock speed optimizations (ala HD 4890) is unknown. The HD 5800 refresh should come in right after the GF100 as a direct competition. If GF100 does end up competitively priced, ATI have a significant price cut buffer in the short term, with the refresh taking over within a couple of months.
