This is what has been talked about on other forums, ATI seems ready to release Radeons with faster memmory and clock speeds under the Radeon name. This is probably some of the same components that will be used in the Radeon II. In other words you'll be able to o/c these with ease closer to Radeon II specs.
WE SURELY NOW have confirmation that a higher clock Radeon will find its place under the sky. The name will not be a fancy Radeon SE as we believed and has been written in Webbly terms so many times. Listen very carefully. What ATI would like to do is to make a silent transition to higher clock and memory cards. SILENT? GOT THAT? As far as I am told there are no press samples for FPS greedy testers since ATI just wants to offer performance for free to its customers. Performance is going to be marginal so we would not expect any big increase in performance from these cards one they gently and quietly hit the shelves. They might have good overclocking potential because of fast memory and higher clock speeds BUT KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT. Obviously these cards will behave - as we were told - exactly the same as the original Radeon but with these exceptions. The strategy is uncannily similar to AMD's when it introduced the Thunderbird core. Let us then QUIETLY WAIT for the next N Path enabled card with full DirectX support.
