ATI R600 is Radeon X2x00 series

We can now share with you that the engineering teams at AMD created four different PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) for the R600 GPU. These each target a different set of customers. The leaked drivers and some marketing documents already call for this generation to be called X2000 series, with devices labelled X2200 and X2400 appearing on the map.

It is not impossible that R600 just ends up being called X2800, but AMD certainly wants to have a clear branding of the product.

So, the T-bone is full a 12 inches long (30cm). This baby is dubbed XTX, and will feature-top-of-the-line, 1GB GDDR-4 memory from Samsung. You can count on 16 memory chips yielding 1GB of video memory connected to the GPU via 512-bit external bus. Memory chips could do 2.4GHz clock (1.2GHz physical), yielding in yet unseen bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s, dwarfing 8800GTX and its 86.4 GB/s. However, this clock is not guaranteed - not everything is in the bandwidth, but rather in the way you use it.

Second variant is in the prime rib categoryL more compact its big T-bone brother, on a size level with R580 (X1950XTX) and G80GTS (8800GTS) boards.

VR-Zone : Technology Beats - ATi R600 A15 Silicon Hit 1GHz?
... AMD is planning to launch R600 on 8th or 9th March and be officially named as Radeon X2K series. The mass production silicon is expected to be still at A12 for the R600 cards at launch.
It seems like ATi has successfully taped out a A15 silicon that is able to work at 1GHz ...
... There are 2 variants for XTX; 1GB and 512MB. X2800XTX runs at 750MHz core, 2.2GHz memory, 512-bit memory interface and GDDR4 while XT runs at 600MHz core, 1.8GHz memory, 512-bit memory interface and GDDR3.

Come on man stop behaving like a fanboy....nvidia already has an excellent product whereas ati is yet to post even a release date
 
lets see how they fare.........but traditionally if you see, high end cards has always been ATI's forte whereas the award for midrange cards went to nvidia

Though i use nvidia (only for Digital Vibrance) , i still hate nvidia coz of their dirty business monopoly .. infact , if u consider all the facts , the the 7 series never came close to the X1xxx series .. .. the 8800GTX rulez currently as the ATi is getting their weapons ready .. and when they come .. nVidia watch out .. me moving onto this series as soon as they launch their midrange segment ..

ATi had become careless at one point of time and nVidia ruled in the Riva TNT and the early GeForce era (up to GeForce 4). The major plus point for nVidia during that time was the driver support. Their strategy was to expose the architecture to the developers which ATi did not. Then ATi too followed in nVidia's footsteps and with the 9xxx series they were back in the lead.
 
has any1 else noticed a notebook with X2300 inside it was launched... Is this a derivative of the R600 core coz...that what it seems like!!
