AMD’s next graphics cards are being prepared for launch: During the Q1 earnings call, president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer stated that the company will roll out a significant number of products in May and our sources now confirmed that the introductions will include desktop and mobile (M88) graphics parts.

RV770 will launch as Radeon 4800 and will make its way into the FireStream stream processor and FireGL workstation cards. Both GDDR3 and GDDR5 memory will be supported by the chip, but ATI itself will only be offering GDDR5 cards. The Radeon 4850 version is set to come to market with an 800+ MHz core (the final clock has not been specified yet and will not be available until the final qualification is completed), while the 4870 will be the first mass-production GPU with a clock speed higher than 1 GHz. Prototype RV770 boards were clocked at about 1.05 GHz.

Heres a toast to strong showing from AT

Long overdue, that is for sure! It will be nice to see Nvidia get some competition again.

I hope it kicks ass. Nvidia would never had pulled that 9800(8900)GTX crap if ATI was holding it's own. Remember when those two were trading blows? That was real competition and they had do right by us to earn our money.

Wow - intriguing - wonder if that means that they go back to the high end price wars as well.

**Consultant** · 04-23-08, 09:02 AM

keep the gfx wars raging, is what I say.

I want DDR10, 3 gigs of it - I want 6ghz, 4 core GPUs and I want them to cost $199. That wont happen without intense competition!

HOORAY, CAPITALISM!

Interesting point being the price, 350 is 50 dollars cheaper than I figured the high end part would come in at.
