Well associate already told to us, that the announcement Of r600 will takes place in the beginning of May, video chip will operate at frequency on the order of 800 MHz, the first video card will be released with memory of type GDDR- 3, and only nearer to the middle of month can appear high end version with 1 Gb memory type GDDR-4.
Thus, according to last information , AMD company decided not to release for the market video card on name radeon x2900 XT, but instead of this to present the version r600 with 512 mb memory of type GDDR- 3 , under name radeon x2900 XTX. Analogous name will also get video card with 1 Gb memory of type GDDR-4. Only volume, type and frequency of memory will be the differences between these two video cards. Our associate mentions some changes in the price policy, but it does not make concrete statements. It is possible to assume that between the modifications radeon x2900 XTX indicated will exist difference in price.
We hope that the version radeon x2900 XTX with 512 mb memory of type GDDR- 3 will justify its high end name with its performance; however, this will be possible only after the appearance of the first reliable data about the testing results of such video card.
