...and 695/1550 MHz are the clock speeds.
ATI'S LATEST greatest chip finally got the name. we can now confirm that the one that we know as R580 is going to be know as X1900XTX. We don’t have the slightest idea why ATI added an additional X to the name.
Unlike our Chinese friends from HKEPC reported the X1900XTX will be clocked at 650 MHz core and 1550 MHz memory. It will end up very close to the original R520 clock speeds.
The card is expected on January 24th, but we are not sure whether that is the fixed date. We know that ATI is getting ready to ship the cards.
We are looking at availability at launch and some chaps that have seen the cards or some scores are being optimistic about the performance numbers.
It has three times more Shaders than R520 and in Shader intensive applications should perform quite nice, and we can confirm that it will end up significantly faster than still ghost Geforce 7800 GTX 512 at least in some scenarios.
