RADEON II info

[radeonUltra]

So much emphasis has been put on Nvidia future products, yet people don't even know that RADEON II specs have been out for a while.

I saw this on rage3d news archive

Code-name: SIDEWINDER
300MHz core
60 MTriangles/sec
1.8 GPixels/sec
Programmable Geometry
Enhanced .18 micron process
Sample: July 2000 (!!!)
Production start: Nov 2000

Code-name: STINGER
400MHz core
Enhanced rendering architecture
.15 micron process
Samples: Q1'2001
Production start: Q2'2001

I also read in their forums Radeon Maxx will be out 3 months from Radeon release, meaning OCTOBER.

Personally, I don't believe the NV20 4.8gpixels hype because of bandwidth limitations.

ATI specs are more credible.

There is no way NV20 will be 0.15 micron and be released by December, its funny how all these little websites try to get more hits.

Anandtech.com already went up to nVidia headquarters and confirmed NV20 would be delayed until Spring 2001. Would nVidia lie about delaying a product?

What is more powerfull Sidewider or de radeon maxx (it's dual 64 mb ddr total of 128 mb ddr right?)

Somehow I doubt those specs as well as the release dates.
I also doubt the NV20 will be out by christmas.
But I dont doubt there's a possibility that the NV20 will be made on a .13 process, considdering TSCM is pretty much ready with that process and nVidia is probabaly quite a good customer.
