Radeon 4800 Has Been Delayed
AMD’s coming graphic card, AMD Radeon 4800 has now been delayed. The card should have been released in May, but now AMD changed the release date to somewhere between 15th and 22th June. This means that the card will be out almost at the same time as Nvidia’s GT200. So far we can expect to see the models 4850, 4870 and 4870 X2. Radeon HD 4850 launches in first and the other cards are expected to come out in July. Radeon 4850 will come with 512 MB GDDR3 while the two other comes with 512 or 1024 GDDR5. When it comes to performance the 4870 will perform about same as the 3870 X2. AMD’s Unified Video Decoder comes now in second generation and has gotten the name UVD2. AMD is also working with something they calls Powerplay to reduce the effect usage of their graphic cards.
When it comes to pricing the cards will be about the same as the 3000 series when it was new. Personally i think Radeon can finally beat Nvidia with this series. However because of the delay we just have to wait and see.
