also @ TechSpot: Huawei Ascend P6 smartphone is the thinnest in the world at 6.18mm
Coverage is already beginning to trickle in from around the web and the new card form AMD is shaping up to be a very impressive product. The 4850’s performance able was to match both the GeForce 8800 GT and the 9800 GTX in a bunch of major gaming titles, and with a price tag of $199 the card is cheap enough to be competitive in the market against Nvidia’s solutions. On the power consumption front the Radeon HD 4850 outshined Nvidia’s G92-based cards, which is what we’d expect from a smaller GPU based a 55nm fabrication process.
We'll have our own take on the Radeon HD 4850 in the coming days, but in the meantime you can read some early reviews at TweakTown (in CrossFire), PC Perspective, and techPowerUp.

"go for an x2... better than 2 cards in crossfire still "Ummm . . . why would anyone shopping around for a $200 card like the 4850 even consider an X2 when they average $550?

I am a die hard EVGA fan boi but I live in Austin TX, a major AMD design facility. Along with the amazing performance these new cards are providing I can't hold myself from staying on the NVIDIA route. ATI FTW!

not sure what is up with ppl complaining about ati drivers. there drivers have been stable every since. This is old news. The past is the past. Before commenting how about unstable ati drivers, how about checking your systems before putting the blame on someone else. And in reality ATI and Nvidia could care less about us. Remember, when either company goes down its the CONSUMERS THAT LOSE!!!!! Why? HIGHER PRICES and slower innovation in products. If it wasn't for Nvidia OR ATI both companies would over charge there customers like crazy!
