ATI's R600 is on track for Q4
Fudo over at The Inq. believes that the ATI R600 GPU is on track for a 2006 launch and will pack a bunch, but he is unsure how big the punch will be.
R600 should be the biggest and the fastest-clocked chip around but we still don?t know how it will compare to Nvidia's G80 chip. We do know that R600 will have more graphic features and will be more capable, but that doesn't necessarily mean faster in the frame-rendering battle. ATI is not hiding the fact its R600 does Shader Model 4.0 and is fully DirectX 10 compatible. R600 will be a faster version of the redesigned Xbox 360 chip and will end up with more Shaders, more pipelines, faster memory and a faster clock. It won't have any on-die memory as this is too expensive and too complicated for such a chip. We also hear the R600 won't need a master card so you will be able to plug a pair of them and they will work.
