AMD 6970 and 6950 is out, 6970 competes with GTX570 and 6950 targets range between GTX460 and GTX570, prices are not too competitive, anandtech review points out that this 4VLIW architecture is experimental and may suffer is shader bound games, power draw is much higher, comparable to HD5870 and 5850, also HD6970 uses hardware power throttling control unlike nVidia's software mode, anandtech's review says GPU is throttled in games like Metro 2033 and this limit can't be bypassed(increased by 20%). So overall not very good cards.

AMD Previews New Catalyst Control Center Interface

Going forward, the Catalyst Control Center will be AMD’s primary CPU/GPU/APU configuration utility. Today we’re just seeing the next evolution of the Catalyst Control Center as a GPU configuration utility, but next year AMD will start bringing in features for their APUs and CPUs. So in many ways this is just the first half of the story as we still don’t know just how the Catalyst Control Center will integrate CPU/APU controls, or for that matter what will become controllable.

^^ I think I reported that on the "AMD HD 6950 and 6970 released" thread. It basically unlocks a cheaper HD 6950 to costlier HD 6970 using a BIOS firmware.
