Some associate already reported that the high demand for graphical solutions series radeon HD 2600 (RV630) and Radeon HD 2400 (RV610) from the side of important OEM- producers can limit the accessibility of appropriate video card in retail. We will not forget, that the chips RV630 and RV610 are produced on the new 65 nm technical process, the volumes of their production thus can be insufficiently high.
It was considered , that AMD will release video card series radeon HD 2600 and Radeon HD 2400 in the middle of May, and they immediately will be put on the market. In any case, at the current quarterly conference the company representatives promised that in the second-half of May , AMD ,will be represented ten graphical solutions with directX 10 support .
We obtained today Alarm signals about the possibility of delay in the release of video card on base of RV630 and RV610 . Reliable associate reported to us that the deliveries of video card series radeon HD 2600 and Radeon HD 2400 can be postponed to the end of June 2007. The reasons for delay were not called. Video card Models exist, but mass deliveries will not begin earlier than the end of June. It turns that the GeForce 8600 GTS will not get soon its competitors.
RV630 and RV610 Video card can exist, also, in AGP- versions. NVIDIA thus does not hurry to transfer the G84 and G86 to the AGP 8x interface .
