I think he confused the ringbus w/ the memoryinterface.

there yo go bringing intel into a amd thread again lol, if that was someone droping a dig at amd you would be crying like a girl.qft!
512bits + GDDR5@2500MHz? Is Fuad deliring or something?

HD4870 vs HD3870X2... no, I don't think the HD4870 will outperform the 3870X2.
If it comes close to it, that would be great, and the HD4870X2 would have a decent advantage over the 3870X2 then.
If they get the cards to perform well with AA & AF, then they'd have something good for the mid-range and mainstream sector which would be good for AMD's economy.
We'll find out soon
I have a crazy question - will the 4870 work in crossfire with a 3870?
That would be awesome if it would!

Seriously, were are very close to the launch date and we don't even know the real specs. Let alone benchmarks. Is ATI trying to hide anything?

Of course ati's trying to hide something, best way for them to scare Nvidia right now is to keep them guessing, if you look back with the r600, the same tactic worked (nvidia was planning price cuts and g90 when the r600 was still a mysterious monster) until ati released benchmarks
After reading the tgdaily article, I have a feeling ATI will do away with the 4850 cards until the end of the year, and only release the 4870 right now.
The reasoning for this is simple. Even the lowest clocked 4850 would end up faster than the fastest 3870 due to the difference in specs (320 vs 480 SPs and 16 TMU vs 32 TMUs). Though this represents a new generation, they've come far too soon after the 3800 series.
Unless ATI will strategically make 3800s EOL on 4800 launch or make huge price cuts on them, the 4850 512mb will end up being an insane deal, one which will take away a great number of sales from the 4870, seeing as, at launch, there will be a very small amount of bad-clocking 4870s and 4850s may just be underclocked 4870s. Though I imagine ATI thought that through which is why they are offering GDDR5 to convince people to make the extra investment; would make a lot of sense.

So far, it looks like the R700 (dual R770XT) will be priced at $499. And a single R770XT will be like $299. OUCH.
It has to be lower than that or Nvidia will bury ATi this summer with GT200 chips. Well, at least it makes sense that ATI wants to capitalize on those prices until the GT200 comes out maybe 1 month later in June, I guess...
Personally, I aint getting nothing to replace my 8800GTX until the R700 drops down below $300, or if the GT200 is gonna be worth every penny. Some rumors say that Nvidia might do weird stuff like releasing different cards in increments over the months (like the 8800GT, GTS512, 9800GTX, but with bigger differences)---argh, that would drive my impatient nuts NUTS!
