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...
