ATI will unveil Mac versions of its Radeon 8500 and 7000 graphics cards at Macworld Expo San Francisco next January, according to the graphics company's show guide blurb. The Radeon 8500 is based on ATI's second-generation Radeon chip, codenamed R200. The 7000, however, is based on the original Radeon technology that power ATI's current Radeon Mac Edition board. The 8500 runs at 250MHz (???) and supports 64MB of DDR SDRAM buffer memory clocked at 275MHz. By contrast the current Radeon Mac Edition is clocked at 166MHz (core) and 166MHz (memory), respectively. The 8500 is capable of handling 2.4 billion texels per second; the 7000 can chuck out 1.6 billion texels per second. Source: TheRegister Thanks for the info.
