In today's Q3 financial results for the 2006 financial year, ATI hinted that RV560 and RV570 -- their upcoming new mid-range desktop parts -- are a little late. Talking about discrete desktop GPU sales, ATI spoke of inventory hangover and lateness on products hurting them in the $150-250 price range, although they were bullish on initial 80nm product yeilds.
Putting that together, it seems ATI were referencing RV560 and RV570. More than ever, they'll be keen to use those new chips to displace use of high-end GPU dies in lower-end SKUs, something they've had to do to fight NVIDIA in the mid-range. RV530-powered Radeon X1600 hasn't done what they'd hoped in the lower end of that pricing space.
