    Default Radeon HD 4860 in the Works?



    AMD released the industry's first 40 nm desktop GPU. The RV740 went on to make only one SKU, the Radeon HD 4770. The company filled its Radeon HD 4700 series almost overnight two more SKUs positioned on either sides of the HD 4770, based on the 55 nm RV770/RV790 GPUs instead, due to stock shortages. These also impacted on the inventories of the HD 4770, which forced AMD to reposition the Radeon HD 4850 in the sub-$110 segment, creating a bit of a void between it and the roughly $150 HD 4870. If anyone of you is up for yet another ATI Radeon SKU, here's one coming your way: Radeon HD 4860.

    why are they creating more confusion? the 4850 is for $90, the 4870 512MB should not be bought for more than $110 and the 4870 1GB is around $130-140 average and has been as low as $120. just how much are they gonna sell this for? $120? the price points are just all compacted in a very small price range.

    it is almost pointless in doing so unless they soon do some price dropping

    Well we might not be understanding the GPU world like we think. The guy who wrote the article himself said there is a void. Maybe ATI isnt accounting for what price variations board partners add to the product and are just looking at their reference designs and where in the price chart they fit in. 110 -150 is kind of a void if you ask me, granted its a lot of cards to decide between but if ur budget is 120 u'd want the optimal GPU for that wouldnt you? Better than a 4850 but not quite a 4870
