However a lot of people do not realise that the 4850 is in fact the RV770PRO which has 480SP and 24TMU. I am guessing that the RV770 4870 form which has the full 800SP and 48TMU.
Where did I get that from?

The Box blurb which was acidentally posted on Amazon.com



Any ideas when the NDA is going to be lifted and when the HD4870 (1GB DDR5) will be released?

I am still tempted by the Zotac AMP 700Mhz GTX 280, however if the HD4870 comes close (within 10%) and for 66% of the price... I will certainly buy the RADEON over the Geforce.

The Amazon specs are wrong. Both chips are the same deal, just different clocks.

I really recommend that you wait till the 4870X2, even though it's more expensive I'm really sure it's a heck of a card.
