AMD’s R600 to suffer another delay – needs re-spin
I’m sure by now that everyone has seen the review on the R600, but now it’s known that that review was done on a card that has a number of problems that are serious enough for a re-spin to be done according to Theo. Looks like the R600 is going to have to wait a bit.
The last revision of the prototype chip – upon which a certain “pre-review” is based – also suffers from problems which are serious enough to get another re-spin, sources tell me. This re-spin puts a hold on the launch for another couple of weeks, and now R600 is looking like an early March launch, probably the week before SnowBIT in Hangover. However, AMD/ATI is making severe changes to the whole line up and we can say that this launch, when it happens, will be very, very shocking for the 3D industry.
