這是從德國chip.de的消息,ATI會為RV350配備DDR-II,覺得有點不合理

用AltaVista工具德翻英
San Jose (railways) - ATI plans a complete overhaul of its offer of wheel on chips for April 2003. Radeon 9700 pro, 9500 and 8500 and the mobile variant Radeon 9000 Mobility blocked in Notebooks are to be replaced with Radeon 9800, 9600/Pro, 9200 and Radeon 9700 Mobility.

Within the High end range the Radeon 9800 for ATI is to clarify the balance of power. Like the predecessor, the Radeon 9700 pro, is manufactured also the 9800-Modell (code name R350) in the 0,15-Mikrometer-Prozess. The chip optimized for DirectX 9 possesses thereby the same units of Vertex and pixel Shader as the model 9700 pro.

Are raised the VPU clock (Visual processing unit), which will amount to instead of 325 MHz now 375 MHz. On the suitable boards excluding GDR i memory will be used. The focused frequency: 350 MHz, that are effectively 2 x 350, thus 700 MHz.

Radeon 9600 pro - more than average
For the mass-market there are the largest changes: Radeon 9600 and Radeon 9600 pro (both RV350) are manufactured in 0,13-Mikrometer-Technik, it resemble however in its architecture the Radeon-9500-Chip. The CONTROLLERS are compatible to DirectX 9 and have about 75 million transistors.

While on the standard variant a chip clock is anvisiert by approximately 300 MHz, the pro accelerator with 400 MHz is to run. As video RAM GDR ii-memory is intended for both models, which runs however regarding the CAS Auslesezyklen in the slower GDR i mode. The memory interface is reduced to 128 MByte. The price for appropriate boards amounts to zirka 150 euro for the 9600er-Modell, maps with the Radeon 9600 pro is about 200 euro to cost.

Within the Desktop range of the lower preisklasse the Radeon 8500 for short time as Radeon 9200-Controller (RV280) is produced. Its memory interface, which is revalued by AGP 4x on AGP 8x, is new.

M10 - new 3D-Turbo for Notebooks
In the mobile sector the Radeon 9700 (code name M10) prescht forwards. The successor of the Radeon 9000 Mobility has a diagram core, that to DirectX 9 is compatible and shows 8 pixel pipelines - like the appropriate Desktop variant.

CHIP on-line one means:
ATI wants to make short process with Nvidia and attacks with full broadside: Radeon 9800 comes with more speed and is to make the GeForce chip FX 5800 back-gradated last from.

With the Radeon 9600 manufactured into 0,13 micrometers inclusive pro variant attacks ATI directly doubly competing models of the GeForce FX MX: One squints with the pure 9600-Variante on a passive-cooled diagram chip; the pro version, which clocks with nearly 400 MHz, is to secure the Pfruende in the elevated Mainstream segment against Nvidia.

R350在FSAA與AF與Hyper-z可能ATI都有加以改良
M10若有上面所說的8管線規格,我看RV350即有可能以8管線的規格出現
