Re:ATI Reveals Radeon X1900 Details Internally - 2005/12/23 15:47
ATI released their Silver Bullets for Radeon X1800 approximately two months before the launch of the card, but it took nearly six weeks after the launch for master card variants of the Radeon X1800 to show up on store shelves (and nearly as long for CrossFire motherboards as well). The Silver Bullets presentation was a little light on details, but did confirm the R580 GPU has 48 pixel shader processors and higher clocks than R520 (a.k.a. Radeon X1800).
Radeon X1900 uses a 90nm process also found on Radeon X1800. The internal briefing also confirmed that there will be two separate versions of the card, RX1900CF Master Card and RX1900 CrossFire Ready card. Like the Radeon X1800 series, you will need at least one master card to enable CrossFire support. Avivo and Shader Model 3.0 will also appear on Radeon X1900.
