The latest news from Computex 2008 indicates that AMD has decided to postpone the release of the Radeon HD 4850 until the 23rd of this month, launching it alongside the Radeon HD 4870. The Radeon HD 4850 was originally scheduled for release on the 18th of this month, which would have been the day after the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280/260 debut. Given that NVIDIA's new cards significantly outperform in both performance and pricing, it makes sense for the Radeon HD 4850 to avoid the initial hype and delay its release.
