	Both ATI and NVidia are on a 6-month dev cycle. The 4870 has been out for past 9 months, so ATI is somewhat late to the party coming out with new tech. Have not heard anything about the 4890 just yet, but it seems to me like it is just a higher-clocked GPU than the 4870. Time will tell if it is a die shrink as well. This seems to be just what NVidia did with GTX 280 to GTX 285 (55nm from 65nm and 10% higher clock speeds).
