DigiTimes reports:
ATI is preparing for the release of its high-end graphic chip, the R600, with the chip expected to hit the market between the end of March and beginning of April, according to Taiwan-based graphic card makers.
The R600, which will compete head to head against Nvidia's G80, is manufactured on 80nm node, supports DirectX10 and features DDR4, the Taiwan makers added.
The R600 will come in four models targeting different market segments. The high-end part will have power consumption of 270 Watts and target OEM partners, such as Dell, sources said. Earlier reports listed Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as the foundry partner.
The other models (including XTX, XT, XL) will target channel markets and will have a power consumption lower than 240 Watts, added the sources.
Nvidia, on the other hand, may launch its G84 and G86 at the upcoming CeBIT show, with the parts targeting the mid-range and entry-level markets, respectively, the motherboard makers said.
