The Savage 4 was not designed to compete on performance but what the
OEMs want, good performance at a low cost which in the Savage 4 case
is US$25 in quantity.
If anyone has not noticed it yet, but the analysts have finally figured out that Intel and AMD have been cutting prices on their
chips and have declared it a Price War. In a week or two the anals will forget all about this. What Price War, Intel is the leader.

In short, I didn't see any significant new features. It is definitely not leapfrogging anybody with any new features, and if anything, it seems that it is playing catch up with the Rage128. The only thing it has on top of it is AGP 4x, which ATI will come out with in the same timeframe. The only thing that might skew this picture is if the
Savage4 were to have let's say 400-500Mp fill rate or something. This would be absolutely necessary given their timeframe otherwise this part will be obsolete before it's even released.
