RV730 and RV710 are the code names of the mid-range and low-end GPUs of the Radeon HD 4000 series. A document provided to us sheds some light on the upcoming cards using these GPUs. The memory configurations are listed as well as the specific memory type. AMD is trying out a number of configurations, but we can safely say that you should be expecting two different cards based on either GPU, with varying memory speeds or capacity.

Two different GDDR3 memory configurations can be seen with RV710. Both memory operates at 800MHz, but the density varies from 512MB Hynix memory to 1024MB Samsung chips. This points to that the 4450 and 4470 models will be separated by GPU clock. We need to confirm the exact specifications of both RV710 and RV730 before revealing more about them. No 256MB models could be spotted in the document.
