Well in reviews their latest greatest card will be slower than 4 or more other cards that are on the marker already. That will look both sad and pathetic to many people.
I think they will lose a lot of credibility in order to maintain some sort of marketing stance.
Not really. Its the GTX 460's price segment the Barts are rumored to be fighting in. People know already about Cayman and that this is the new highend. What will be sad and pathetic, is if the GTX460 will still stay in that price segment after launch of Barts (provided that Barts have a performance of around 5870).
Naming Cayman 69XX just brings it up into the highend numbering. Traditionally, AMD have only used 69xx for 5000 dual card, but its reasonable that both their highend dual and highend single uses 69XX.
