Turks and Caicos going to OEMs. Source: Tom's Hardware

Caicos is quite an upgrade, but that's not too surprisingly given APUs have started to arrive. At least they are trying to make distinct progress at the bottom end. Weird that both Turks apparently have the same number of shaders enabled though, 480/400 would have been what I expected.

Looks to me like the 6670 is going to be almost as fast as a hd4850.

Well, it has 75% of the theoretical shader power with similar memory bandwidth but has 24 TMUs (40 on the HD4850). Though the "DX11 shaders" are slower than the DX10 ones at the same clock speed, so that 75% is somewhat lower (we saw it when comparing HD5450 to HD4350 - at identical clocks the HD4350 always won, they only differ in the shader types). So "almost as fast" is really pushing it I think 😉

However, you can get a HD6850 so cheap these days, I don't really see the reason for those cards...

arent 6850's 120+ bucks easy?

I would expect most of these to be under 100 within a few months.

plus I imagine they will be much lower power, and passive is nice
