So it's a 4870x2 on a single die?

No.

[crystogod]

No.

I thought a 4870x2 was 2 x RV770, which is what seems the specs are on the 5870?

In a very general sense yes, your statement would be correct. But the 5870 is not two 4870s glued together, or a side by side MCM design, or anything like that.

Ah okay. At least a 4870x2 without the limitations of Crossfire, plus other enhancements, DX11, and I'm sure a bunch of smaller stuff we don't know about yet.
