ATI delays shift to 80 nanometre

By

The Inq. did not learn the exact reason behind the delay, but did learn that ATI might have a yield problem with its upcoming 80 nanometre process. A delay is never good news, but it happens often in the hardware industry.

So, RV535, ATIs 80-nanometre mainstream part, RV560, ATIs 80-nanometre performance part and RV570, ATIs other 80-nanometre performance part are delayed at least till end of summer, we think September at the earliest. It has to be about the yields. And it seems ATI will have to keep its R520, Radeon X1800 GTO and upcoming Radeon X1900 GT, breathing for a few months more than it originally planned.
