Re:ATI Radeon X1950 series announced... - 2006/07/23 10:15
The new Radeon X1900 is a low-cost version of the existing Radeon X1900 that only uses 256MB of GDDR3, enabling the card access to the $300 price point. The Radeon X1900 XT 256MB will use the same clock frequencies as other Radeon X1900 XT cards, 625MHz core and 1.45GHz memory. ATI's advisory documentation claims the Radeon X1950 XTX will begin sample availability on August 7, with the CrossFire sampling beginning exactly one week later. Sampling of the Radeon X1900 XT 256MB will begin immediately.

The Radeon X1900 and Radeon X1950 will be replaced by another ASIC core, dubbed R600. The R600 is expected to be 80nm with new design features above and beyond the R520 and R580 series.
