HD4870x2 just around the corner

Daamit tells gagged hacks

IN A MALAGAN BUNKER, AMD's borged graphics gang divluged their latest 3D battle plan to a gaggle of gagged hacks.

These were alegedly chained in a room with a real live 45nm Phenom lurking behind the curtains. No-one's sure whether it was turned on.

Daamiteers were on hand to overclock current 65nm Phenoms to 3.3GHz using nothing but sneaky software.

Why! Those pesky Nvidians can't even name their cards properly let alone sell any! the Daamiteers cried. They're up to their eyeballs in inventory!

And, having gotten its act together - unlike the chip chaps that borged them, said one - AMD's graphics divison will launch the HD4870X2 sooner rather than later, they proclaimed.

And it will be dressed entirely in black just like the 9800GX2. µ

AMD Duck: BLOOMFIELDS' OUT!!!

One thing Intel Does NOT Make IS Great Game Card. So AMD 1, Intel 0 there. X2 will be Nipping Nvidia in kiester.

However, Bloomfieds Specs & test NOW Out, Today & it Looks Grim. Prices from: $999 down to mere $369.
Tri DDR3. Multipliers back up to Intels Reign: 20 to 24. Internal clock, heats yet dosn't simmer at 133 Mhz/s. EVERY AMD PROCESSOR MADE IS BEATEN BY MAJOR CPU BENCH TESTS AGAINST BLOOMFIELD/NAHALEM.
BARRE' NOUNS.

Huzzah

Finally AMD picking up the pace? I won't believe it till i see meaningless synthetic benchmarks thrid hand with my own two eyes....

9800 is enough of a disappointment AMDATIDAAMIT might goblle up some market share... phenom has more catching up to do. But if it is just good enough then the scaling of CF might make AMD+CF platform a viable alternative to a nvintelsli fanboy rig...

good stuff i say

Dont tumble or else

Oh golly. Looky here..an x2 to bit a single GTX280. Ok, good luck there newbie. Your crossfirex better be worth it because if do the flips like your predecessors i will surely curse the rest of your product line up for a decade.

"Sooner rather than later"

Didn't Hector use those EXACT words about divulging Asset Smart, Asset Light, Asset [catchphrase of the day to appease investors]?

Putting aside a 4870x2, how about getting out an 4870x1? (It's not like those have really 'launched'; except in the AMD sense of the word)

Please stop re-spinning the AMD spin.... A 3.3GHz OC demo!!! Hmmm wasn't AMD demo'ing a 3.0GHz OC nearly a year and a half ago? (Remember the 4 fans on the side panel and apparently a normal heat sink?)

I know folks apparently feel the need to want AMD to succeed (or the sky will fall and big bad Intel will gouge customers); but how about a little objectivity and skepticism given AMD's recent performance against roadmap!

Perhaps a shot of reality to help wash down the kool-aid?

Matches up

This matches up with what Fudo said about the 4870X2 in one of his articles.

You guys sure do know something... something you can't show us! Did somebody there sign an NDA?

Ahh! I bet you have the card in your hands right now! Corr, I'd love to get my mitts on one.

Considering 4850 was early..

Well considering 4850 was early, A hard enough launch to bounce! The 4870 isn't supposed to be out yet. Thus no cards, is not surprising. Whine about it if they are late. where oh where are the stockpiled 9800gtx+'s? Oh wait. paper launch, right. They'll be here soon I know. But then again, i bought my 4850 launch day... Hell i could've bought it the day before, or the day before that.

Regardless, 4870 x2 will cost less then gt280... Heck it costs less to make then gt280... And yet again Suppliers will be screwed by price drops. (remember the 8800gts/gtx inventory pains when gt was dropped? )

As to Phenom... Well... Hope 45nm is cheap, and small, and they can sell em at a bit of a profit... Good news for the graphics side tho, no sli for Nahealm.. (sp?) So at least if no phenoms sell, crossfire has a good chance too :)

I think both nVidia and iNtel deserve x mas cards from AMD this year. :)

uhuh

Well, here we are more than 2 weeks later and still no HD4870x2. Infact most of the rumors now are saying the last week of august, more than two months after you said "right around the corner". I think your full of shite, and cant write worth a damn either. What is this? "news" or poetry class?
