ATI's R600 chip won't be launched that soon, but as we said before it aims to be the fastest and the biggest chip in the computer graphic industry. ATI is working hard on the R600. It won't finish it until the end of the year but it aims to make the fastest chip to date. We heard that the chip might achieve and even surpass the magical 1000MHz clock speed. The fastest that NVIDIA and ATI can do with 90 nanometres is around 650MHz to 700MHz and we know that you won't be able to overclock much more with a 90 nanometre chip. This may mean that the R600 chip will be a 65 nanometre component. Which will be following the trend of Intel with their processors.

We expect that NVIDIA might introduce its G80 chip a few months before ATI, we expect the G80 at late summer or early autumn, while we know that The R600 won't see the face of the earth until late Q4. Things can always get delayed, as you know. For more details on both the G80 and R600 chips it is still waiting, as we go along and approach the end of the year this will change certainly. Up to then it is keeping our ears and eyes open and pick up as much information as we can, and get from sources close to ATI and NVIDIA. So stay tuned for more information as we go.
