[Rumour] ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Sum-Up
Following closely on the heels of the 5800 series are the more affordable HD 5700 products. In the recent past, ATI have used four variants - Extreme dual-GPU (x800 X2), Performance (x800), Mainstream (x600) and Entry Level (x500/x300). That caused a problem with the 4800 series - there was a large void between the $80 4670 and the $199 4850. This is a popular segment - and Nvidia sold large quantities of 9600 GT and 9800 GT cards.

This time, with the Evergreen series, ATI are going for five levels. Furthermore, with the price point of the 5850 part increased to $259 (instead of $199 for the 4850), an entire series (5700) has been designed to fill the gap.
