AMD has been through some rough times the last year. Not only have they lagged behind with their processors compared to Intel but they also have not been able to compete at the enthusiast level with their ATI graphics cards. It was therefore quite interesting to attend to their briefing in Malaga, Spain a few weeks ago where they presented their new HD 4000-GPU's. For the first time in a year or so AMD had a briefing which was filled with confidence and which left at least me with a feeling that AMD was very optimistic with what they were presenting for us journalist.

The product they were presenting was of course the new HD 4000 series of GPU's. In focus was the HD 4850 and the HD 4870 but we also got some information for the R700 which I expect will be called something like HD 4870X2. These are the GPU's that AMD are hoping will strike a big blow to NVIDIA's market share.
