I've also seen rumoured prices for $499 for the 470 and $679 for the 480. I think these are closer to the mark personally.

Anyone can come up with numbers at this point. For example, my "sources" say they will charge $1 and $2 for the 470 and 480. Expect this to be the top story on all major tech websites tomorrow.

It's funny how the OP's article is now seen as a beacon of hope for Nvidia. A few months ago everyone would have thought 5870-level performance was far too low for the second-highest card in Nvidia's lineup.

A few weeks ago people would have also said that the HD 5830 using more power than the 5850 and almost as much as the 5870 would be insane but a few days ago we found out 1120 Stream processors, 800Mhz core clock, 16 rops and 175W board power. However Charlie said so, maybe hes right. In any case it does fall in line with how bloody hard to produce and expensive the Fermi chip is.
