Ati med nytt highend kort før de bytter kjerne

[Goodall]

Kom over dette:

ATI R580+ is expected to be released in August / September on a 90nm process. R580+ is expected to be an clock-enhanced version of R580, featuring a 700Mhz core clock, cherry picked from current R580 GPUs, interfacing to 2Ghz+ GDDR4 memory.

 

Er ikke dette litt unødvendig med tanke på:

ATI R600 GPU is expected to be released in October (perhaps later) on an 80nm (and perhaps 65nm too) process. The R600 is the successor to the R580 core and is expected to be built on a 65nm process and will be fully DirectX 10 compliant, utilising a Unified Shader Model architecture. Current rumours suggest that R600 will feature 64 Shader pipelines (processing both vertices and pixels) with 32 TMUs and 32 ROPs running at a clock speed of around 800Mhz.  R600 is expected to interface to 512MB of 1.8Ghz GDDR4 Memory over a 256-bit interface.

 

Enten vet ATI at r600 ikke blir klar før jul kanskje så de må slenge ut en liten oppgradert r580

 

Spennede å følge med frem til jul i hvertfall

ATI delays shift to 80 nanometre litt mere sladder
