It's a GTX580 killerSo what does the leaked pricing tell you about the performance of Cayman

I don't know about his credibility , but they describe him as a well respected member and an AMD fan .I do not have the slighest idea where you came up with this answer ????? Eveybody that received their cards (Reviewers and Extreme Overclockers) have the final working cards with final Bios NOT betas , the same that its already shipping to e-tailers and re-tailers. There has never been a low-speed 6970xt and a fast 6970xt
Im deep in the industry and the Reviewers and Guys that got the cards for Reviews and testing and breaking World Records under Liquid Nitrogen are very dissapointed in the numbers, even overclocked , volt moded to hell and back it will never catch up with the 580GTX that its the thruth and have been done , the 6890XT volt mods are already floating around
, well this will be my last words in here , the HD6970-XT will be up and against the 570GTX , the trade blows in the benchmarks. HD5970 will remain the fastest card on the planet. Wait a few days and you will see for yourselfs , most of you know my background in the industry and for that i cannot say more , AMD wants tight lips because 6970XT will be slower than 580GTX thats all.
Chispy Out.
Is this for real ? I can't believe this ..
Do you think the cayman xt is going to trade blows in performance with the 570 and carry a much higher price?

Absolutely not Of course .. unless the leaked prices are worng .
Slow Speed?
Doesn't say anything about gaming performance - only that its disappointing to the LN2 crowd, which cares more about breaking the 3dMark records.
And that's expected too though - synthetics utilize VLIW-5 probably a lot more efficiently than gaming, and so going from 1600 -> 1536 would be a decrease in actual shading power

He said, "No slow speed 6970XT".... which from what I can gather is true.
AMD is adding an "XT" suffix? This is a step back from their recent naming simplicity if true. Edit: Or comment above me 
Either way though, it should be 6970 and 6980. not XT and Pro.
I've been through this rigamarole many times recently, is AMD's part faster than the fastest or not? My guess is as always, it will compete with GTX570, not GTX580. That's AMD's way. But I do hope for more. Perhaps with Neliz hints, maybe it gets to 5% of GTX 580 which would be pretty nice.

What is "6970XT"? Is there a 6970PRO, too? Maybe the PRO is the slow one and XT is the fast one
I think the PRo&XT go on the same board.
Dammit, where are my damn LN2 numbers that I asked for yesterday!!!
This is all part of AMD's disinformation campaign. You see, they sent out a lot of samples with various clocks and SIMD counts, and various more or less misleading stickers:
- Slow Speed Board
- Fast Speed Board
- Moderate Speed Board
- Light Speed Board
- Ludicrous Speed Board
- Super Fluffy Bunny Edition Board…
Then how do reviewers do their job? That's what makes that whole story unlikely. Cant have Anand posting a review of the fast board and [H] getting the slow one exactly, now can we.

The "slow speed board" pictured above?
Slow speed doesn't necessarily mean bad. At low speeds, you are usually safer and the comfort is higher. Low speeds makes you simply feel better. The ability to enjoy low speeds shows distinction and is generally considered a sign of great sense of responsibility.
