AMD and Nvidia are ready to cross blades again in June with their next generation GPU families – the ATI Radeon HD 4800 and GeForce GTX 200, according to sources at graphics card makers. AMD is planning to launch its ATI Radeon HD 4800 family in the middle of June.
The first model to launch will be the ATI Radeon HD 4850 with a price set around US$229. The company will follow with the 4870 in the late June, with the same specification as the 4850 but will add support for GDDR5 memory.
