Compared to the RV770, the number of shaders and ROPs has been reduced. Also the memory bus interface has been halfed from 256 bit to 128 bit. The only difference between the HD 4650 and the HD 4670 are the clock speeds.
AMD is positioning their cards in the lower midrange segment with a price point well below $100. The media PC features have remained the same as on the HD 48xx Series with UVD2, HDMI via adapter, HDCP and UVD2 video decode acceleration.

The Radeon HD 4670 was an entry-level graphics card by ATI, launched in September 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the RV730 graphics processor, in its RV730 XT variant, the card supports DirectX 10.1. The RV730 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 146 mm² and 514 million transistors. It features 320 shading units, 32 texture mapping units and 8 ROPs. ATI has placed 512 MB GDDR3 memory on the card, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 750 MHz, memory is running at 1000 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the ATI Radeon HD 4670 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 59 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. Radeon HD 4670 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 193 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 67 US Dollars.
