ATI Radeon Xpress 200G reference board "ATI has shied away from AMD-oriented chipsets for a while, but the recent launch of the Radeon Xpress 200 chipset signalled a change of mind. It also marked ATI's first attempt at a PCI Express chipset. To be honest, ATI has managed to put together quite a tempting package for just about anyone considering an Athlon 64 or Sempron Socket 754 based machine."

Nvidia to pitch NV48 at ATI's R520 "Nvidia will launch against ATI's next-generation high-end graphics chip, the R520, in Q2 2005. So claim sources from among Taiwan's graphics card manufacturer community, cited by DigiTimes. They also allege that the part, codenamed NV48, will be fabbed by TSMC at 110nm, and not by IBM. The sources claim the move is a result of yields the Taiwanese foundry has achieved with the GeForce 6200 and 6600 chips. The shift from one manufacturing partner to another may account for the rumours that Nvidia had cancelled NV48. Certainly, the NV48 had been expected to appear late this year, according to Nvidia roadmaps doing the roun…

NVIDIA's SLI Shortchanges Gamers? "According to NVIDIA’s marketing, NVIDIA’s Scalable Link Interface (SLI) "can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences." What NVIDIA fails to make clear, however, is that SLI currently requires NVIDIA to write driver profiles for each game to support SLI. Are all the games you want to play supported?"

AMD to launch dual-core Toledo to counter the Intel Smithfield "Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will take on Intel’s dual-core desktop Smithfield processor by introducing a dual-core counter version, codenamed Toledo, in the third quarter of this year, according to market sources. A number of vendors, including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Acer, Fujitsu Siemens, Sony and Gateway, have decided to incorporate the Toledo in their desktops, the sources noted. AMD is now entering the competition with both single and dual-core desktop processors, and the company will continue in 2006 with a dual-core processor codenamed Windsor, to counter Intel’s Presler, the sources noted."

"Much like Intel’s Centrino, AMD is referring to their Turion 64 as a “Mobile Technology” and not just a microprocessor platform. AMD has seen the success of Intel’s Centrino Mobile Technology and is hoping to capitalize on some of that success. Unlike Centrino however, Turion 64 doesn’t rely on AMD-supplied chips to receive the branding. AMD will provide the Turion 64 processors, but chipsets can be provided by a number of vendors as can the LAN and wireless controllers. AMD is far less restricting on the components that make up Turion 64 enabled notebooks, which means that they will inevitably be cheaper than Centrino platforms, but it also means that they may not b…

ATI R520 "We have confirmed the 24 pipelines rumors from several independant sources. However, these 24 pipelines are not comparable to 24 of today's pipelines - multiply by 1.3. So the 24 pipelines will have the performance of 32 "normal" pipelines. The result of this is that the R520 will be two times as fast as the currently fastest X850s." Yeah, its rumor-mill stuff.... but most here will be drooling over the next flagship products from both houses!
