To the announcement Of r600 and video card on base of chips RV630/RV610 remain only less than week. As we said , before the second-half of May AMD promised to announce ten graphical solutions with directX 10 support . Furthermore, some sources noted the possibility of announcement of five mobile graphical solutions with directX 10 support .
Let us recall that the video chip on the base of chips RV630 and RV610 will be put on the market on 1 July ; however, for some regions this period is not final. As before the OEM- segment has priority.
At the end of June AMD can show the video radeon HD 2900 XL, with recommended price $279 .
In the second place, we note the 65 nm video chip RV670 with 256- bit bus, which will appear in September. Those video card will have 512 mb GDDR-3 memory : radeon HD 2900 Pro. The radeon HD 2900 Pro models can be demonstrated already on exhibition computex 2007 in June. This model is called to replace the Radeon x1950 pro and also to strengthen AMD positions in the average price segment, where NVIDIA can propose the 256- bit version geForce 8600 GTS.
The intended for OEM- segment long video card radeon HD 2900 XTX with 1 Gb GDDR-4 memory was replaced by the Radeon HD 2900 XT 1024MB DDR4. Completely regular replacement, since the 1 Gb GDD4 memory did not give praticlly an performance boost to the xtx radeon . The suffix XTX will be preserved for video card radeon HD 2950 XTX on base of 65 nm chip r650, which AMD try to show in the end of the third quarter .
