I was just looking at the 4860's specs on Sapphire 's home page.

It says 800 stream processors , not 600 like originally thought.
A 256 bit memory bus.
Clocked at 700 core, 1500 memory.
"Energy Efficient Manufacturing Process
Second generation 55nm chip uses the industry‟s most energy efficient manufacturing process."

I'm reading this chip uses 80 watts on other forums compared to the 4850's 110 watts.
I lost the link.......cancel that

I see there making a 512mb version too..

2 power connectors ? Is this a poor man's 130$ overclocking card?
Still wanna try these in crossfire.

This x 10 million, WTF is the 4830 for then? This is the dumbest card release i have seen in my life. They had NO HOLES in their linueup.

I speculated in another thread that these 4860 were harvested from the 4890 production chips. Not being able to make the grade for 4890, they held onto a bunch and are selling them as a new sku. :shrug; It is about the only reason I can see for them to be pushing out a new card on the 4000 series at this point.
