ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850 (M98) in Q3?

By: Klaus Hinum

According to Fudzilla, AMD plans to introduce an RV770-based mobile chip, the Mobility Radeon HD 4850 in Q3.

AMD just launched to HD 38xx Series of mobile cards, when Fuad Abazovic from Fudzilla got news, that they are already planning to introduce a mobile version of the upcoming desktop chip RV770 in the third quarter. As the RV770 should habe 800 Shaders (different count than Nvidia), the ATI Radeon HD 4850 or 4870 will get rather hot. Therefore, the clockspeeds will be reduced (compared to the desktop version), to cope with the heat. Still the chip will only fit in large notebooks with a good cooling solution. As soon as there is more information on the M98, it will be featured in our big graphic comparison.
