[Rumour] ATI Radeon HD 5800 series refresh in summer

Much like the Radeon HD 4890 last generation, ATI is rumoured to bepreparing a refresh for its Cypress GPU. Details are unavailable atthis stage. Whether it will be a die shrink, increase in shader counts,or just clock speed optimizations (ala HD 4890) is unknown.

TheHD 5800 refresh should come in right after the GF100 as a directcompetition. If GF100 does end up competitively priced, ATI have asignificant price cut buffer in the short term, with the refresh takingover within a couple of months.
