"Radeon HD 4870 and Radeon HD 4850 will both have a whopping 800 Shaders. T

Who invents such bullshit news? The R770 is still based on R670 technology, there simply is no space for such massive amounts of transistors (with doubled texture units, space is even more restricted). The R670 has 320 stream processors and the R70 is supposed to have 320 as well (some rumours talk about 480 processors). The new design R870 seems to go with 40 or 45nm technology, and wild rumours have it at  1000 stream processors.
