Man, are we going to be sick with numbers before they become official. No such thing as a review yet, but somebody who the folks at Vr-Zone refer to as CJ has more to add (let's pray he didn't get them from another forum).
The RV770PRO with GDDR3 at 1 GHz, should be 25% faster than the GeForce 8800 GT/9800 GT. The RV770XT with GDDR5 at 1.96 GHz, 25% and 30% faster than the GeForce 9800 GTX and the 4850 (RV770PRO). Remember that the 4870 will not only have faster memory, but a 100 MHz core advantage.
Okey dokey, that's out of the way, now let's talk about your hard earned (or not) money. If DigiTimes is correct then the ATI Radeon HD 4850 will be "only" $229, the 4870 about $349 and the 4870 X2 between $529 and $549 (ouch). Release dates are still (keep your fingers crossed) June, end of July and... the rest of the year, respectively.
