Re:ATI Radeon X1950 series announced... - 2006/07/23 10:13
The new GDDR4 variants of R580 based Radeons are now called Radeon X1950. The Radeon X1950 will retain all of the features of the Radeon X1900, and really only have the added benefit of a new cooler, GDDR4 memory and different frequency clocks. The Radeon X1950 at launch will come in two flavors; a high clock XTX version, and a CrossFire version. Both cards feature 512MB GDDR4, and the only major difference between the two is that the CrossFire X1950 houses the composite engine and input interfaces for CrossFire.
Just yesterday, ATI issued an advisory to its partners claiming clock frequencies for Radeon X1950 family products are pending and will be provided at a later date. However, in March of this year ATI released a new policy for AIB partners to overclock Radeon X1000 series cores with some discretion. While we can already confirm some partners are planning 650MHz core versions, there is still a distinct possibility that higher clocked cards are also in the works. Memory clock frequencies have not been announced either, though Samsung announced its GDDR4 is already capable of 3.2GHz in 8x512Mbit configurations.
