Benchmarks place it comfortably between the HD4830 and HD4850
Despite an uncharacteristically tight-lipped stance from ATI on its first 40nm parts, hardware review website Guru of 3D has managed to secure a sample of an RV740-based graphics card and put it through the paces. At first glance, the specifications suggest that it is little more than a shrunken RV770LE core, but a closer look reveals several improvements
According to the preview published today, the GPU boasts 640 shaders, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs; all the same as the RV770LE. However, the core and memory clocks both receive a significant bump, up from 575MHz to 650MHz and 1800MHz GDDR3 to 3200MHz GDDR5 respectively. The substantial boost in memory frequency works to offset the performance difference incurred by the smaller 128-bit memory bus on the RV740, which brings the reported math processing rate for the GPU up to 900 GigaFLOPS.
