ATI R350: early details emerge

Still not finalised, but here are the aims

EVEN THOUGH hasn't completely finished R350 as they are waiting for production silicone as we speak, we believe we have some solid information about what to expect from the cards.
ATI's magic goal is to achieve 400MHz/800 MHz for the card and memory while we know that it can easily clock it to 375 MHz, which can be considered as the lowest frequency of R350.

The final silicon should be back from TSMC any day now, as product is almost ready and when it does we will try to confirm the information about the final clock. 400 to 425 MHz is a dream target.

R350 is likely to stay with the Radeon 9x00 branding name, where x will be replaced with 8 or 9, so it may well be named the Radeon 9800 or 9900.

We heard that ATI's R350 will beat Geforce FX in eight out of 10 benchmarks, and we learned that one of benchmarks they will lose will be Quake 3. This could be true since the R350 will have 6Gb/Sec memory bandwidth more than the 9700 Pro.

No lie. If only Via/Sis can get up to speed, they'll have plenty of reasons to keep lowering prices and raising the bar. And the software coming outis so great - can you imagine the games they'll make based on the Doom 3 engine, after it's been out and matured, optimized and streamlined? :thumbs: :jammin: :w00t:

Can't wait to see what the graphics will look like in 5 more years.
