GDDR5 lined up
SOME NEW INFO on the latest round of AMD graphics processors has suspiciously reared its head on a German hardware website, purporting to show the full spec list for DAAMIT's range of next-gen mid-range products, based on RV770.
The 4870, 4850 and 4850 GDDR 3 are all built on DAAMIT's 55nm processor, have 480 stream processors, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs, according to the data sheet.
The former will come with high-end GDDR5 memory for those that simply have to have the latest in incremental numbering systems, and the real differentiators will be the chip and memory speeds: 850/1050MHz for the 4870 and 650/850MHz for the 4850.
The Germans reckon that we're on for a May release, with the top end card costing $349 and the midrange $269, with the lower of the three yet to be priced up.
You can have a look at the chart for yourself here, and you might be interested in a little English-language discussion here, which includes the stunning revelation that 'Mai' might just be German for 'May'. Really? µ
