Slashdot We have stripped down both cards; HD3850 on the left and HD3870 on the right.
The HD3850 Core

The 1.1ns Samsung GDDR3 modules on the HD3850.
The 0.8ns Samsung GDDR4 modules on the HD3870.
The HD3850 (left) does not use all Solid Polymer capacitors like the HD3870. The PWM of the HD3870 is also more complex and uses better inductors than the HD3850
