OKAY Guys. I am making this thread to post anything and everything on R520. I am having a feeling alot new news/info will start to leak and this forum will have loads of threads on each news. So to keep the threads down and to keep everyone updated on R520 core i will keep on posting.

"ATI Technologies chief executive office Dave Orton recently made some additional claims about the forthcoming graphics series code-named R500. As it appears, the company has run into multiple issues with its chips called R520 and RV530 that run at high speeds, but did not experience any problems with the RV515 and Xenos chip for Xbox 360 console that run at moderate frequencies" >>> Mmm So this should mean that R600 core should be easy to produce since they might use dynamically allocated Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs)

ATI?s R520, RV530 and RV515 May Be Around the Corner

"ATI reportedly conceded it had lost the OEM designs, primarily Dell to NVIDIA?s GeForce 7800 GTX for enthusiast desktop PCs for both the back-to-school and holiday season, but expressed believes that the retail and channel (add-in-board) markets, which are claimed to represent over 66% of the enthusiast market, for the R520 chip remained available.

ATI code-named R5-series of VPUs is projected to support Shader Model 3.0 and other innovations, which requires a totally new graphics architecture from ATI."

"While ATI Technologies is yet to release its lineup of RADEON X1000 products early in October, some reports claim, the company may already have its future high-end component with cranked up specifications code-named R580 ?in house and working?, according to a slide that presumably comes from an ATI?s presentation." >>> MM why don't ATI skip R520 and go to R580 and totally crush the 7800GTX and that way they could cover up for the delays. but its an stupid idea i know ;( .

"Each of the Rx5xx chips will have this Ultra threading dispatch processor that will process the data prior to sending them to the pipes. This means that ATI might really do something about multi threading this time."

Website :"Our conclusion is a mixed bag really. The benchmarks were run on release candidate drivers for the Radeon X1800 Pro and XT, hence performance is not likely to change much before launch, but final clockspeeds have yet to be determined we've learned, hence it could go either way."

ATI offical story was: that no partner had the R520 chip so no benchmarking could be done

"General specifications of the GeForce 6800 XT resemble those of the GeForce 6800 LE, but the main difference is that the former is based on the code-named NV42 graphics processing unit (GPU) made using 110nm process technology at TSMC, whereas the latter may utilize NV40 or other chips. The model 6800 XT has 8 pixel and 4 vertex" >> arround same price as X800GT and adds more confusion for the conusmers.

You do that, Im gonna go cook some pocorn.
 
Well, if you remove Sander's articles... and then remove the Inq. articles... there will be almost nothing left to post!
 
PCIe is picking up so fast that ATI realised that not that many people will go for AGP version of the card, or that's what appears to be the logic.

this is exactly why i don't like the inquirer. the editors can't even spell!
