amd-logoHardware-infos has gotten news from insiders about the new AMD HD 5850 and 5870 chipsets, and find that they may blow away all previous guesses and include a massive 1600 stream processors.

Based on equal clock frequencies the new models have theoretically twice as much shader and texture performance as the present HD 4850 and HD 4870 series. Though increasing the power more than a 100 per cent will just be possible in a few cases, as the memory interface is still restricted up to 256 bits. Nevertheless AMD improved the performance quite a lot and developed a remarkable graphic card series, which outclasses his older brothers easily.
