I agree with amitash.

RV770 brought ATI from nowhere to somewhere waaaaay above everybody's expectations.
The GTX200 series GPUs were once said to be the ultimate product to kill AMD.
Look what happened ?
AMD raised ATI to never seen before hights.
And CrossFireX scaling issues have long become obsolete.

And with the launch of Energy Efficient RV730 and RV710, AMD is finally able challenge nVidia in an area where it lost most of the time - portable computers.

Now that RV770 was such a big hit, I suppose AMD is going to make RV870 on the same foundation, but with a 40nm process and finally start optimising the cards for power consumption and heat dissipation. THEN we can finally see a much more matured product lineup from AMD, along with propably better drivers.

Hopefully OpenCL, OpenGL 3.0, GEM, etc would also be fully supported by the time RV870 is released.
