    Don't know if this is the right place or if this had been posted yet.

    Anandtech got a hold of Chris Hook, PR at AMD, together they sit down to take a look at RV770. Very good read.

    Interesting article, especially the part about how the 4850 almost didn't happen. 4850 was going to launch very close to what the 4830 specs are now. My desktop is glad they decided to juice it a bit more. :)

    Yep. I'm happy that they beefed up the 4850 to what it is not. My old 939 Shuttle system can still kick butt now.
