techPowerUp! News :: ATI’s X2x00 Series Details

…the columns have been translated to mean (from left to right) GPU model name, GPU clock/ memory Clock, memory type, memory width, memory size, number of pipelines, manufacturing process and recommended price (presumably in US $). One interesting thing to note is the X2800XTX2, which could be a dual GPU card.

Also :
DAAMIT’s RV610 and RV630 are 65 nanometre parts

ATI’s RV630 and RV610 are actually 65 nanometre parts… April production … Nvidia’s G84 and G86 mainstream and low-end chips are still at 80 nanometre which means they get hotter and are more expensive to make… The chips should perform about the same as Nvidia’s but will take less power and be cheaper to produce.

The cards support HDDVD playback, second generation Unified Shader, DirectX 10, integrated HDMI audio, HDCP over Dual Link, PCIe second generation speeds and open multi GPU chipset marchitecture.

DAAMIT still doesn’t like to talk about the clock speed of these chips but we know that at 65 nanometre you can clock faster than 750MHz.

oh ati is in full model to bring down nv this with help from amd

[siddharth_menon]

Hmm I am NV FAN … but da new range of ATI cards may wana think about it.

I’m just gonna pray to god that techboy doesn’t get his hands on one of these.

The Tech Report - AMD’s R600 to ‘overdrive’ to 880MHz?
AMD’s R600 mysteries revealed

… core clock speed of around 800MHz with GDDR4 memory running at somewhere between 1GHz and 1.1GHz
… R600 will have an Overdrive mode similar to the one in current Radeons that will allow users to squeeze a few extra MHz out of the card with AMD’s blessing
… Overdrive will require both 8-pin and 6-pin PCI Express power connectors
… BIOS for the board is now a “smart” one - it will detect whether the GPU is leaking current and will throttle power to prevent thermal or electrical “episodes”.

I think we are moving back in time for the days when a “computer” occupied one complete room. Lol the opportunity cost of these cards is enormous, since they are approx. 1 feet long, and real estate prices in South Mumbai is hovering between 20,000-40,000 per square feet… *heh

… since they are approx. 1 feet long, …

Just nine inches.

“First clarification TheINQ makes says that all cards will be 9’ their will be no 12’ variants. The picture of the card that made its rounds last week was not for a PC, what was it for? Well it was for Apple.”

The Tech Report - Rumor mill churns out info on low-end DX10 Radeons

The RV630 will reportedly see the light of day in two flavors, dubbed Radeon X2600 XT and Radeon X2600 Pro. Aimed at the $200 price point, the XT is said to have 64 shader processors, a 650MHz core clock speed, 256MB of 800MHz GDDR3 memory, and a 128-bit memory bus. As for the Pro variant, it’ll supposedly cost $150 and sport 550MHz core and 700MHz memory speeds.
Moving down to the RV610, The Inq says that GPU will launch in three variants: a $100 Radeon X2300 XT, a $70-80 Radeon X2300 Pro, and a $60 Radeon X2300 LE. The site says all three models will have 32 shader processors and 128-bit memory buses. The XT model will have 650MHz core and 700MHz memory speeds, the Pro model will tone those down to 500MHz/700MHz, and the LE model will run at 500MHz/400MHz, having traded its siblings’ GDDR3 RAM for GDDR2.
