AMD give me more pleasure dan excitement. Overclockable is the reason why i use AMD. This blog is formed as my thanks to AMD
March 2007
About some week forwards, AMD will launch the next generation Radeon GPU which based on GPU R600. For the specification, according to AMD, this GPU core will be formed by a transistor amount to 700 million units. As comparison, Radeon X1900 (R580) series only have 384 million unit transistor, and for the previous generation (R520) formed just only from 320 million transistor units.

March 2007About some week forwards, AMD will launch the next generation Radeon GPU which based on GPU R600. For the specification, according to AMD, this GPU core will be formed by a transistor amount to 700 million units. As comparison, Radeon X1900 (R580) series only have 384 million unit transistor, and for the previous generation (R520) formed just only from 320 million transistor units.
Like the previous news, this R600 GPU will have 512-bit memory controller, and support to GDDR3 and GDDR4 memory. Later, at the launching in end of March, R600 will attend as ATI Radeon X2900XTX, and available in two variant, namely OEM version and retail version. At OEM version, the video card more destined to be used at build-up computer, and have 12 inch board length dimension.
While for the retail version is destined for main consumer, and attend with the 9,5 inch board length dimension, and also equipped by dual-slot cooler solution. And the special of it, the cooler type use vapor chamber. Usually this cooler component is used at high-end CPU, but not surprise if used at high-end GPU.
From the reference, the video card which based on R600 GPU will had equal to 1 GB GDDR4 memory. But still available more reached choice for the R600 video card, which still use the GDDR3 memory in next month. The video Card will attend in Radeon X2900XT name, with 512 MB capacities, and also run in lower clock compared to Radeon X2900XTX version.
The other feature, still like GPU of Radeon family is Crossfire support. The difference is without the existence of master card and slave with internal bridge connection, and HDMI native integrated support. From energy requirement side, will available the 6-pin and 8-pin (2x4) additional power connector, even both still compatible with 6-pin power cable.
