that would make it more of a 4850x2 though if they would opt for gddr3, but why would they do that? the 4870x2 will be the top product, so the price of gddr5 cant really be the issue (and it doesnt use more power and is faster).

I think they will just bin the 4870 chips and run them at lower volts to keep tdp somewhat under control.
