Default HD5870x2 will be named HD 5900
I have seen 3 articles stating the new dual card hemlock will be the HD5900...
2 versions of this...2x5850 and 2 x 5870....

At first i thought this was hipe but if you google HD5900 there are a lot of convincing articles...

It seems that AMD basicly confirms this with there driver being put out for both HD5900's....

Yah I saw the article that pulled the information from the INI file.

People are missing something though. It says evergreen right? Not hemlock...

if hemlock is the x2 then a 5900 evergreen would be the next step I would imagine.

"ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series" = ati2mtag_Evergreen, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_689C
"ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series " = ati2mtag_Evergreen, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_689D


Not the first time we have seen driver "leaks" with wrong information though.

ok...

Radeon HD 5970 confirmed as Hemlock

Excluding hte second part of the update for a reason

they do not say that AMD verified it..


For the record... calling the 5900 evergreen is within reason, after all it would be 2 evergreen cores, and while I have not had the opportunity to run an X2 card, I would assume the 4870x2 also shows up as a "4800 series GPU"


I dont know seen driver strings before lead to BS. Unless ATi is already planning on putting out a new gen next christmas... 5900 seems like too quick a jump

(I do not see any 4900 series gpus...)

although would allow forum users to say I have an a 5870x2/x3/x4 meaning crossfire, and aligning with the athlon brandname...

Sorry I am a man of many typos, and read through most, that is a funny one though

This is the first announcement I have seen about the 5970. As far as a date goes. Still, with TSMC having problems getting out the 40nm for ATI and Nividia I can't help but wonder how they will get them out...
