We spoke with several sources in the Far East about the 4890 and the possibility of X2. After initial "no way" statements from AMD GPG, an AMD interview practically confirmed the part.

The rumored specifications were true once more: expect a refreshed GPU chip with 850 MHz clock, 1GB GDDR5 memory at 975 MHz and 124.8 GB/s of bandwidth. ATI's partner just had to state that they do have 4890 boards available for purchase wherever you are.
