ATI/ AMD has launched all its DirectX 11 products planned for 2009 and in 2010 there should be at least two chips and three products to launch.

By Q4 2009 AMD launched Hemlock dual-GPU card, 5970, Cypress XT 5870, Cypress PRO – 5850 as well as Juniper XT - 5770 and Juniper LE 5750.

Q1 2010 should bring two new chips and three new cards. The mainstream market will get Redwood XT, a 40nm DX11 chip that should take over the mainstream market from 4770 and 4670 and the second Redwood simply called PRO will replace 4650 in the mainstream market.

We would not be surprised if Redwood ends up with 56x0 name. The value market will get a new chip called Cedar, also 40nm and DirectX 11 that should replace 4350 as well as 4550.

As of Q1 2010, the 4550, 4350 as well as 3450 cards will continue to exist in the sub-Cedar part of the value market. Cedar will possibly be branded Radeon HD 55x0 / 53x0 depending on performance and ATI's marketing decision.
