I know I did it months ago, when the chips was in an early stage, and since then the projected final frequency have been rounded down several times.

If you have lab chips runnings at 1050MHz, do you really find it feasible that the retail product will do the same?

It's quite feasible we will see partner products with GPU frequencies in the 1GHz range, but the reference card? I doubt it.
I would be very glad if ATI did manage to do it though, but it seems like risking a bit much.
R770 is using the same manufacturing process as RV670, it's even more complex than RV670, the fact that we're seeing higher frequencies coming should be enough to please most people really.

Bsides, 4850 looks like the only card available at launch anyway...
