Although the characteristics of new flag officer in rule ATI on name R420 were in sufficient detail opened by our associates from site Anandtech, precise idea about productivity level of this solution, until now, not had not whom. Let us recall that R420 must become the first highly productive solution of ATI, executed on 0.13 m technical process with application of low- to dielectrics. Architecture R300 already eliminates itself, since for a period of year and more all flag solutions ATI were only 0.15 m "variations on theme R300".

As it became known past time, R420 had to raise productivity to the new level not only for the calculation of the use of high-speed memory storage Gddr-3, which works at the frequency of 1 GHz DDR, but also by means of an increase in the number of blocks of apical sheyderov from 4 to 6. Furthermore, the formula of the piksel'nykh conveyors of chip R420 not was known, it completely can correspond to combination "8 X 2" (eight conveyors with two textural blocks for each), which took for armament Nvidia in its chip NV40.

Recently the Dutch resource Tweakers.net shared with impressions from the acquaintance with productivity level of demonstrated on IDF Spring 2004 videokarty R420. more precisely saying, everything came to only one benchmarku, in role of which came out game Collin McRae Rally 2004, which intensively uses sheydery.

So here, videokarta on base R420 with frequencies of 500/1000 MHz (or with the more rapid of 1.4 GHz by memory of the type Gddr-3) showed result into 100 frames per second. It is reported that the contemporary solutions of this class work with the productivity 2-3 times lower. In this case it is not refined, what precisely videokarta was located in the form - something from the model number Nvidia, or its own Radeon 9800 xt and Radeon 9800 pro.

Most likely, this high productivity of sheyderov is caused not only quantitative changes (high-speed memory storage even 6 blocks of apical sheyderov), but also by qualitative innovations. The accuracy of piksel'nykh sheyderov in the new generation of graphic chips must be increased to 32 bits, while architecture R300 is limited to 24- bit accuracy.

It is interesting that in spite of the more thorough guarantee by the power (to 60 W), provide ford by tire PCI Express x16, the flag solutions ATI of the type R423 will use additional joints of nourishment. R423 must appear during April or May, the analogous version with support AGP 8x, known under the code name R420, it can leave only earlier. As the probable date the second-half of March, when Nvidia presents to CeBIT 2004 its solution by name NV40, is called.

vaadates just mälu kiiruse infot jääb küll mulje, et tuleb midagi üsna kiiret

Kas see on vene keelest tõlgitud?

Ootaks täpsed pressiteated ära, siis räägime edasi kui kiire ja kui võimas... 8)

kuulujuttude järgi pidi ka 500/1600 kelladel versioon tulema 8)
vaevalt, et kaart on läbikukkumine, ati esimene 0.13 mikronine kaart(r9600) on ju suht kõva tegija omas klassis

Oot, kas see 3 tähendab lihtsalt seda, et see on PCI Express x16-le mõeldud? Või on tal sisemised erinevused AGP8 kaardiga ka? Ja ma ei saa aru, miks on need tippklassi GPU-d ainult 0,13m struktuuril? Samas hoopis lahjem RV370 tuleb juba veidike hiljem (eeldatavalt mai) juba 0,11 ehitusega... Weird

Milleks tulla välja oma parima tehnoloogiaga kui on võimalik vana pealt veel pappi teenida. Vana tehnoloogia kasutamine on tunduvalt odavam ja kasumlikum.

423 peaks olema 420 pciex16 versioon jah.
ja võib ka olla, et siis on nõks kiirem kui 420. a võibolla pole ka..
igatahes ati luband, et see aasta tuleb igast tippkaardist nii agp kui ka pciex ver..

vastus 2: fx5800 + toores 0.13 = ?

AGP ei kao kindlasti kuhugi... keskklassi kaardid ja odavad kindlasti veel pikka aega AGP peal

[k2iguvahetaja]

Em, mis täpsemalt see PCI express on? Kõige uuemas AMis on sellest kirjutatud, aga ma mõistagi oskasin enne selle kuhugi ära panna, et enam ei mäleta. See on nagu Lisakaart, ehk saab juurde osta emaplaadile või on kohe interigreeritud emaplaadile?

AGP siin kaob ära ja võid oma kalli raha eest ostetud kaardi EMEXisse viia Kuna pea kõigil on arvutid olemas, siis tuleb BTX standard kasutusele võtta. Tooksin võrdluse fotokaameratega - tavalised olid juba kõigil olemas, nu teeme digikaamerad

[k2iguvahetaja]

Palju see "PCI express" maksab? Saab osta juba?

Paistab et Ati mehed on jälle paari sammuga ees rivaalist.
