Chicago (IL) - After weeks of delay, final silicon of ATI's next graphic chip generation, code-named R520, apparently made it through the production line. According to sources, quality and performance of the chip exceed initial expectations, allowing the company to announce serious competition for Nvidia's 7800 GTX possibly in a matter of weeks.

Credible industry sources told Tom's Hardware Guide that the R520 may debut with clock speeds in the range of 700 MHz and a completely redesigned graphics architecture.

ATI R520 GPUs to come in 3Q

ATI has informed its clients in Taiwan that it will gradually begin volume shipments of its R-series GPUs, including the R520, RV530, RV515 and RV505 by the end of the third quarter. R-series GPUs are fabricated at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), using a 90nm processing technology, according to the sources.

In addition, ATI has begun to design an R-series GPU, the R516, for the entry-level graphics card market. However, the R516 will be built with a 90nm process at United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), instead of TSMC, the source noted.

Most graphics card makers in Taiwan expected the delayed launch of ATI Technologies’ R520 GPUs to boost their sales in the fourth quarter of this year and help them recover part of the losses they incurred in the first half, according to sources at makers.

ATI to Use 90nm Manufacturing Technology of UMC – Report.
ATI Preps More R5-Series Graphics Chips

In a bid to fight back the market of high-performance graphics cards from NVIDIA Corp. as well as to solidify positions in the mainstream, ATI Technologies reportedly plans to introduce two more graphics chips that feature the next-generation architecture from the company. One of the newcomers even said to be produced at United Microelectronics Corp.’s foundry.

ATI has reportedly notified its clients that it would begin supplies of its much-anticipated visual processing units (VPUs) code-named R520, RV530, RV515 and RV505 by the end of the third quarter, DigiTimes web-site reports. Additionally, ATI is claimed to have started designing code-named R516 VPU for “entry-level graphics card market”, the report that cites sources among graphics cards makers claims.

Neither RV505, nor R516 have ever been mentioned before. It is highly likely that the RV505 is a substitute for entry-level RADEON X300-class products, but it is unclear where the code-named R516 is targeted. Furthermore, ATI typically calls its products aimed at mainstream, entry-level or value markets with RV-series code-names, whereas products for performance-mainstream and higher market segments are named with R-series code-names.

If the report is correct, UMC will be the first R5-series graphics chip from ATI to be produced at UMC, not TSMC, ATI’s primary foundry partner, which makes ATI’s R5 family of VPUs using 90nm process technology with low-k dielectrics.

UMC has already initiated commercial product using 90nm process technology. UMC’s 90nm production is taking place at both of its 300mm fabs and one 200mm fab, with over 20 different products now being manufactured. The majority of the products being manufactured take advantage of UMC’s low-k dielectrics, according to the company. In addition to UMC’s standard 90nm device offering, customers are also utilizing either the company’s 90nm low-power or high-speed device options, depending upon their product application.

Previously ATI used UMC’s manufacturing capacities for making entry-level and low-power products.

ATI code-named R5-series of VPUs is projected to support Shader Model 3.0 and other innovations, which requires totally new graphics architecture from ATI. Among other improvements the flagship R520 product is expected to have over predecessors is a new memory controller. Neither brand-name of the new breed of VPUs, nor their launch schedule have been confirmed.

Representatives for ATI Technologies usually do not comment on unannounced products.

Agora para alem da TSMC tb vao contratar a UMC para fazer chips para o mercado do low-end.
Esta medida deve ter sido tomada, para que nao haja falta de stock na produçao de toda a linha R5xx.
 
1 de outubro a apresentação, disponibilidade dois meses depois, no início de dezembro...
Parece estar em linha com as recentes apresentações da ATI...
Mais um "paper launch" :D
 
A nvidia deve estar a bater palminhas de contentamento.

A ATI está mesmo mal. Mais valia mandar o R520 para as urtigas e apostar na proxima geração.
 
ATI R520 poderá vir a chamar-se Radeon X1800!!

O site HKEPC conseguiu obter uma placa gráfica baseada no core R520 esta placa provavelmente irá chamar se oficialmente como Radeon X1800, o seu lançamento será em inícios do mês de Outubro. O mais interessante é que existem varias versões, com 16, 24 e 32 pipes, mas só existem actualmente só 10 gráficas com 32 pipes. O clock do GPU será de 650MHz e nas memórias de 1400MHz. A gráfica usa memórias de 1.2ñs GDDR3. Os 32 pipes da R520 deverá superar o desempenho da GeForce 7800GTX.
 
1.2 ms = 1600 mhz
1.4 ms = 1400 mhz
1.6 ms = 1200 mhz
2.0 ms = 2000 mhz

Ou seja se vier com memória de 1.2, upa upa, devem dar 2000 mhz em OC :D
 
destr0yer ... acho que tens isso mal pá ... 2,0ms = 1000mhz ... acho eu ... cof cof

Mas enfim ... as r520 tem 16 pipes e 24 e 32 e ... e ... e ... vem com clocks de ... e ... e... cof cof.
