HD 4890 in April?

If the 20-30% improvement delivered by OC version is true then 4890x2 sounds really great if it can deliver GTX 285 SLI performance.

DigiTimes reports RV790 chip due out in April, 40nm after all?.

AMD's 40nm mid-range RV740 and high-end RV790 GPUs will both be launched in April this year, while Nvidia will launch its first 40nm GPU, GT212 in the second quarter of 2009.

There's still some room for error in that statement as it doesn't explicitly imply the RV790 will be 40nm, just that it will launch alongside the "40nm mid-range RV740". If the RV790 is indeed a 40nm part I would expect some fairly significant changes over the RV770. Hopefully CeBIT will shed some light on this in a couple of weeks.

RV 790 could be after all a 40nm chip, considering the amount of time it took Ati to refresh rv770. So is there going to be a 40 nm HD 4890x2?

How exciting! My bday is in April so a refresh may just be in order if it actually shows up in April.
