ATI is rising from the ashes

Take a look at these bad boy benchies, absolutely doing some damage to the 9800GX2. Its about time ATi. Check out more here and here.

Hardware-Infos says the "Radeon HD 4870" will feature have 480 stream processors, an 850MHz core speed, 1GB of 1935MHz GDDR5 RAM (that's a 3870MHz "effective" speed), and a 256-bit memory interface. Supposedly, this card will launch in May at $349 alongside a $269 Radeon HD 4850. The Radeon HD 4850 will share its high-end cousin's stream processor count, memory type, and memory interface width, Hardware-Infos claims, but it will have lower core and memory speeds of 650MHz/1728MHz and only 512MB of RAM.
