Radeon HD 6450 Launch Clubbed with HD 6570, HD 6670 Launches, on 19th April
When the entry-level Radeon HD 6450 launches this 19th April, it will not be alone. AMD will back it with product launches of both the Radeon HD 6570 and Radeon HD 6670, according to fresh reports. With it, AMD will have completed its Radeon HD 6000 series product launches, in almost all price-points, top to bottom. Incidentally, the three were also launched together as OEM-only products back in February.
Based on the 40 nm Caicos silicon, HD 6450 packs 160 stream processors, and a 64-bit wide GDDR5/GDDR3 memory interface, designed for low-profile, single-slot graphics cards. The HD 6570 and HD 6670, on the other hand, are both based on the 40 nm Turks GPU, both feature 480 stream processors and 128-bit wide GDDR5 interface. The two are differentiated with the HD 6570 having lower clock speeds.

Except maybe for tesselation-bottlenecked situations, don't expect the card to even come close to any Juniper. All the execution units are practically halved.
Off topic: that picture makes me want to fire up some Halo 2 and play MP on BeaverCreek. ;)
