However, it looks like that AMD is using the delay to change its launch strategy. The GDDR5 equipped 4870 will now launch at the same time as the 4850 512MB GDDR3, but it is unclear whether there are enough GDDR5 chips to enable AMD to ship the 4870 in volume right off the bat.

Makes sense if true. I never understood why they would launch one card from it's serious on the 18th

My reaction:

1. Delayed 5 days to 23 June -->

2. The GDDR5 equipped 4870 will now launch at the same time as the 4850 512MB GDDR3 -->

proof for that...

since RV770 is essentially a RV670 on steroids imho nothing will change with the X2, it will be the same CF on board solution that the old X2 was.

Proof that R700 is the same as 3870x2?

The is no proof about that, but the leaks don't tell about a new ship called R700, they only talk about dual RV770.

A rumour that does not die, is not a rumor

actually the R700 is shorter than the r680 (pic in this thread), has a better cooler and a new bridge chip (PCIe 2.0).

maybe this chip deals with stuttering issues (i recently had a chance to test a hd3870x2 because a friend of mime) because from my experience the normal 3870 CF has much fewer microstutters which appear less often (every 2-10 mins on my rig) and don'T disturb as much as the 3870X2 stutters which are there more often

maybe the X2 really had some sync problems because of the bridge chip, i hope that the 4870X2 deals with the stutters and shuts them out completely, but i don't think that this is going to happen

What he meant was theres no proof either way that the card is on-board CF, not whether it was dual or not

look back a few pages and look very hard at the supposed R700 reference cooler.
