You do realize that 256-bit at 4Ghz memory (GDDR5) is the same as a 512-bit bus at 2GHz memory (GDDR3)? That's more than enough..

these info dribbles are pretty amusing.

I wonder if AMD will announce an USB version of the 4870.

they might be the same rumored ones but atleast now there's some backbone to the source. These specs look real, what I'd like to know is what type of architecture they use. It can't be the exact same as the r600
Well the core clock speed matches the ES that w0mbat mentioned on B3d
TDP is possible - they're on the premium 55nm process from TSMC which is supposed to be better than the one used on the RV670 and should help TDP - and those clocks on the RV770PRO would certainly lead to lower TDP's
Separate clock domains aren't out of the question either. Although there isn't proof this is authentic, the math at least adds up, which is much better than what other sources have rumored so far
look's like the finnal spec.
prolly smth about the clocks not being final
lower clock speeds, but optimized shaders?

In 3DMARK06, Radeon HD 4870 will be 32% faster than 8800GT, 22% faster than 9800GTX and 12% faster than 4850.
LOL @ beautiful graph!
Those aren't benches. And last I checked there was more than a 10% difference in performance between the 8800GT and 9800GTX. ;)
Ugh for the last time guys, read or at least look through the thread before posting the same useless graphs/links. Besides, that's a performance ESTIMATION chart, not an actual result
Unlike GDDR4, GDDR5 actually improves memory speed A LOT. As in, GDDR3's 2000 effective is GDDR5's base...
Not only the fight between the GT200 and the RV770 (we reported) is interesting. We could bring out some information about the coming RV730. What sounds very interesting is the the 256Bit memory interface. In the high end area nothing special, but for the middle class the newest sensation.
The 600 MHz and the 500 MHz core clock is for us a little to less, propably the values are from a engineer sample or AMD think they can win some performance with the higher memory bandwith.
We can not garantee that these are the final specifications!
