No X700XT ATI replaces with cheaper faster 12-pipe X800

"The bean of the morning is that after consolidating its high-end position with the release of its RADEON X850XT Platinum Edition (read more about our take on this product later today) ATi is set to dramatically strengthen its position in the mid-range sector with a shock decision to drop its recently released RADEON X700XT.
Yep - the strategy seems to be to replace its X700XT – a competitor to NVIDIA's well received GeForce 6600GT – with a 12-pipeline RADEON X800 (possibly a RADEON X800 XL variant) featuring a 400MHz GPU core and 500MHz memory clocks, and ship it at an aggressive price-point, thereby enabling its AIB partners - such as Connect3D and GeCUBE - to supply to the channel at $249 or, probably, much less.
If this pans out, then the bottom line is that consumers of 3D gaming accelerators have never had it so good, for so little money."
