My opinions.
1\ Dont like its naming.
2\ The performance may be better, or worse, but its the right direction, the ratio between rops shaders tmu and everything have been bang on for quite some time with ati's cards.
but with 5870 we saw we needed more tesselation power.
3.\ ati... why name it 6870 if its not more powerfull ? just release it as 6770 and if a 6870 isnt comming, dont sell a 6870 at all, cause your naming scheme worked perfectly as it was....
I already hate ati for naming 5770 for laptops 5870!... soon they'll name 5770 6870 mobile..
