IT LOOKS LIKE ATI's, sorry AMD's, 6870 is on track and doing quite well. Early word from AMD central has two big thumbs up.
We have already told you about the first member of the ATI's, sorry AMD's, Northern Islands family taping out, it is called Barts.
6870 進行的很順利，AMD 總部對 6870 豎起兩根拇指。
Barts is a mid-range part aimed squarely at the Nvidia GF104/GTX460 chip, likely called the HD6770. It is due out really soon and should obliterate the competition.
Bart（也許叫 HD67X0）很快就會推出，針對 NV GF104/GTX460。
Cayman, the big brother to Barts, taped out a little over a month after Barts, so it was expected to hit the streets a little after a month from Barts as well. This would put the 6870 on the streets in mid to late November. SemiAccurate's sources tell us that that is exactly what is happening.
Cayman（也許叫 HD68X0）將於十一月中到月尾推出，比 Bart/HD 67X0 大概遲一個月多一點。
Shipments to OEMs are going to start around the same time Barts/6770 hits the street. This puts cards 2-4 weeks out, well in time for Black Friday. Unlike previous Black Friday rumors, this card is real, not a puppy wielding wood screws.
Bart/HD67X0 開始上架時，Cayman/68X0 也將開始供貨給 OEM。此卡是千真萬確的，不是某某上木螺絲的高達。
In another turn of events, unlike the last round of cards bearing the last three digits of 870, this round should have very plentiful supply. While there will always be initial shortfalls due to demand, this time around wafer supplies are much higher. To top it off, yields are very good, the first batch of silicon from the fab is yielding far better than 5870/Cypress did at the same stage.
這次的供貨很充足，好過之前幾個以 X870 命名的型號,因為這次的圓晶數量非常大。而且不像 P 叔所說的，其實第一批貨的良率非常好，比同階段 Cypress 好很多。
The end result is November should have a plentiful supply of Northern Islands cards, both 67x0 and 68x0s. If demand isn't insane, dual Cayman cards, aka Antilles, should be on the market as 69x0s before the end of 2010. If demand is too high for the 6870, then 6970 may be delayed a bit until there is adequate supply. ATI, sorry AMD, did learn from the last time.
如果需求不緊張，Antilles，即雙 Cayman（也許叫 69X0）應該會於 2010 年結束前推出。反之，如果需求過於緊張 Antilles/69X0 可能會推遲。
Stick around, the rest of 2010 is going to be very exciting from a GPU standpoint, and early 2011 looks just as good. Unless you are an Nvidia stockholder, then it won't be nearly as fun.S|A
2010 年餘下的時間到 2011 年初的這段日子應該很精彩，除非你是 NV 的持股人，那將不會很有趣。
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
結論：
Bart/67X0 十月中推出
Cayman/68X0 十一月中到月尾推出
Antilles/69X0 是雙 Cayman，最快十二月推出
6000 系列良率很好，價格方面？？？
