CeBIT: release date of the R600?
One of the brand selling ATI's products gave us more information regarding the release of R600, or X2900, if we use the commercial name.

According to the documents that we saw, the evaluation samples of the Catseye 102-B600 delivered to ATI's clients and corresponding to the X2900 XT with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, are scheduled to be released in March 22 (even if ATI has already sent demonstration computers to each manufacturer to show them to their own clients).

As usual now for high end models, ATI will deliver cards produced by subcontractors and the first deliveries of the final product are scheduled for the 21rst of April. The availability for end users will be at the same time as the product release, early May, the time for manufacturers to stick their logos, put the cards in boxes, and ship them.

The same document speaks of the Dragonshead 2 102-B007, or X2900 XTX, featuring 1 GB of DDR4 memory. Release dates are similar to the samples, 22nd of March, but the final products are expected April 1rst and mass availability mid-May. However, as another manufacturer told us that this card might not even be released, we don’t know really who is right and who isn't!

stručně:

• zítra (22.3.) převede ATi R600 512MB GDDR3 svým klientům
• o necelý měsíc později (21.4.) bude vyrobena první várka finálních karet
• začátkem května bude R600 vydána
• situace s GDDR4 1GB verzí není jednoznačná - podle něterých zdrojů vyjde zároveň s GDDR3, podle jiných vůbec

//edit:

Pár lidí se tu ptalo na rozložení pamětí na R600. Myslím, že je záhada vyřešena. Thermaltake uvádí chladič pro R600 a stačí se podívat na jeho spodní stranu a je jasno
