Nice ending

you might be interested in a little English-language discussion here, which includes the stunning revelation that 'Mai' might just be German for 'May'. Really?

no clock domains (other than primary) on ATi GPUs

Since it would take a total re-design of the GPU for ATi to use clock domains as Nvidia does, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is FUD.

See the discussion on this very subject @ beyond3d for reference - http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1151416&postcount=1289. Maybe you guys should just get your news from there?

misread

Hai
According to the website, it is not the memory that runs at 1050 or 850 megahurtz, but them shaderz.. Speichertakt would be memory frequency, which read 1935 MHz for the 4870 GDDR5, 1728 MHz for the 4850 GDDR5 and 1143 MHz for the 4870 GDDR3.

Frankly, I've seen a lot of different memory configurations spun over the forums and they all seem a bit unrealistic. 1935 seems a lot higher than the 1100 current GDDR4 runs, while 1143 seems way too high for GDDR3 - current cards keep their GDDR3 mem closer to 900.
