ATI Radeon HD 4770, VGA with 40nm Chips

Site home PC Pop Japan show some interesting slides of the latest graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4770 will come with the 40nm chip, the ATI as a leader in the competition against NVIDIA.

VGA is the shimmer with a chip processingnya using 40nm manufacturing so that it can accommodate more transistor in the total is 826 million, proportionate 9800GT still using the 65nm and 55nm manufacturing. Additionally Radeon HD 4770 provides GDDR5 memory faster, but unfortunately the amount of video memory (frame buffer size) have provided a new 512 MB, the process of reaching 960 GLOPs, clock speed at 750 MHz and memory clock of 800 MHz using the memory bus 128 -bit, and power consumption about 80 watts.
