ATI Radeon 4000 Series uses GDDR5

AMD ATI Radeon’s 4000 series of graphical processing units will run with Graphics Double Data Rate 5 (GDDR5) memory, making this the first commercial implementation of the technology. I guess ATI is dead serious in reclaiming the performance crown from nVidia after losing it a fair number of years back, having to play catch up since then. Needless to say, the higher data rates supported by GDDR5 will allow more bandwidth over a narrower memory interface that utimately translates to superior frame rates for the gamer. Well, it remains to be seen how much these new video cards will cost, but cheap isn’t the word ATI is looking for.
