7870 XT?

[funkydmunky]

I've read a bit about this card, and it gets quite muddled with confusion as to what it is. Some specs say it is a Tahiti but with a 256bit bus and 2GB ram. If this is true why not call it a 7930? And with the dropping $$ of the 7950, is there really room for a stripped down 7900 series unless AMD plans on dropping the 7870/50 down in $$ leaving room at $ 225/40?
Anybody have any insight on this?
