Wow, till today, after over 4000 posts and 85000 views in the Gainward thread, people still asking this question. 
Ok guys, once again, Gainward 4850 GS is NOT the same as Palit 4850 Sonic. Gainward 4850 GS use a different cooler and has faster factory-overclocked core and mem speed.

But from reviews and own personal view of both item, the heatsink used is exactly the same, the fan also the same, PCB used also the same, just that the shroud is different.Ok guys, once again, Gainward 4850 GS is NOT the same as Palit 4850 Sonic.

The speed of Gainwards 4850 Golden Sample is 700Mhz Core and 1100Mhz Memory
Palit 4850 Sonic is 685Mhz Core and 1000Mhz Memory.
15Mhz less on the Core and 100Mhz less on the Memory.
Both cards are using samsung gddr3 IC's, both tend to max out at an average 750Mhz Core and 1200Mhz Memory on overclockng.
Eh why all the links you gave did not compare the Palit 4850 Sonic and the Gainward 4850 Golden sample head to head????
