Palit Quitely Slips In HD 4850 Sonic Special Edition, Sports GDDR5 Memory

Known to be an innovative lot when it comes to designing graphics cards, Palit has quitely slipped in a new variant to its Radeon HD 4850 series: the Palit Radeon HD 4850 Sonic Special Edition. What makes this card special, or rather different from the HD 4850 Sonic, are its memory and connectivity options. This is perhaps the first and only Radeon HD 4850 accelerator with GDDR5 memory. The card features 512 MB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit wide bus.

The only difference between the 4850 and 4870 are the clock speeds and the DDR5 in the 4870. How is this still a 4850, isn't it just a lower clocked 4870?
 
It might very well be an underclocked 4870 that doesn't reliably pass stock clocks...
