With no reviews in place, the ATI Radeon HD 2900 PRO boards appeared on the market. GeCube was the manufacturer to break the deadlock and send boards through the channel, and the Radeon HD 2900 PRO is available in Europe today. On my favourite price search site, several retailers and e-tailers list GeCube Radeon HD 2900 PRO, a board based on R630 chip with full 320 superscalar shader units and 512MB of GDDR3 goes for $225-250. As far as we can tell, memory interface on the board is now 256-bit, half of what R600 has. This board actually already exists on the marked as FireGL V7600, and we know that R600 chip with 256-bit memory controller unlinked is called ATI R630. - The Inquirer

AMD Silently Launches Radeon HD 2900 PRO Series

The clock has been decreased to 600MHz for the GPU, but the memory was decreased by only 52MHz to exactly 1600MHz. With these new specifications, this board spots 51.2 GB/s of on-board bandwidth. We don't know the real performance characteristics right now, but if you just got this board, we'd be more than glad to see the scores. This low key launch probably means there is no sampling for reviews, but the price is somewhat right. Now, the only question remains, if AMD is so silent about new SKU's from the R600 family, does this mean RV670 and R680 will turn the pages... Only time will tell.
