B.Ob. Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 Confirms what was all over the place, but from a source we all trust. AMD Pushes R600 Back To May "What this announcement means is that R600 will not be available until May. While the world keeps waiting for the flagship D3D10 hardware to compete against Nvidia's G80, we will all have to sit back and watch Nvidia gobble up market share from AMD."

B.Ob. Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 AMD blasts 'devious' Intel "AMD moved to squash mumbles of manufacturing problems with the R600 GPU, which has been delayed "a few weeks". It wheeled out a teraflop-capable desktop working off GPU-enabled "stream computing". Researchers at Stanford were already writing supercomputing applications for the beast, which has two R600s on board. "R600 is doing very well and there's a reason we're going to launch it when we're going to launch it... I'll take the blame", Richard said. Launching Direct X 10 chipsets piecemeal was not welcome among AMD's OEMs, and would not give the best economic value for the firm, despite the clamour for new kit from hardcore gamers and computing enthusiasts, he added."

B.Ob. Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre "The 80nm R600 die - as it was leaked - will now come to life only in a very limited amount of chips, since AMD decided to solve their problems by pulling all resources to go 65nm across the board, including this 720 million heavy monster. This drastically reduces power consumption and enables AMD to clock R600 to 1 GHz or even more. Mass production R600 WILL BE 65nm." :post34: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 AMD Radeon HD2900XT specs leaked on web "Geometry performance is vastly improved, as is expected from vect5D based marchitecture, and gamedevs can now use Geometry Shaders, unlike certain green products.
