Isn`t this card due for release today ?
Anybody found a supplier/retailer ?
Will be very interesting to see some numbers, i.e. the price, and/or the delay !

Ebuyer have the HD4670 on pre-order for £55:

Looking at the review what a seriously tasty card for 55-50!
Waiting for a passive cool one. Anyone could confirm that all 4xxx series output HD audio (TrueHD, etc) via HDMI?
Check Hexus' review on the 4670 published today guess the information you require will be in there some place.

Quite a few interesting benchmarks here :-
h**p://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-6278-view-Radeon-HD-4670-and-HD-4650-performance-review.html
Looks like the 4670 is the best budget card. It appears to stay within 10% of the 3850, however, the 3850/70`s are coming close to the £50 mark, which makes the £55 ebuyer 4670 a bit dissapointing.
Sub £50 with GDDR4 would be much more enticing.
Thanks for the link Webby,
Those benchmarks look very impressive.

I agree that the HD3850 is good value but it is probably EOL.The HD4670 may also start dropping in price as stock becomes more plentiful. Also people do not have to worry as much about having to buy a new PSU as it has lower power consumption. Hence it is the perfect upgrade for many people who are not hardcore gamers.
Indeedy,
But the power requirements aren`t insignificant. I can see plenty of PSU`s going south from upgraders taking too much of a step up. In fact the low-ish power of this card may lull some into a false sense of security. Those with an already marginal PSU could suffer.
Will be interesting to see the price level of stocked cards, and early adopters opinions.
I see Ebuyer have the Sapphire HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 in stock now.
Priced at £58 inc. delivery.
Not bad considering it seems to trump the 8800gs-ermm i mean 9600GSO. One question remains that wasn't in the artcile though..
but will it blend?...
