"最近我们已经获得确认,ATI R420(AGP Radeon X800)将在4月26日上演处女秀,官方名称
为Radeon X800 Pro。Nvidia NV40(GeForce 6800)将在4月13日正式宣布,但是零售时间大
约将在4月26日。注意,在4月13日发布的NV40产品是GeForce 6800,而不是GeForceFX 680
0。ATI对R420的命名机制保密工作做的很好,但是我们从厂商听到的是"Radeon X800"。
引人注意的是仅仅在Radeon X800 Pro宣布一个月之后,Radeon X800 XT将在5月31日发布
。要知道此前Radeon 9800和9800 XT的发布时间相隔有6个月之久。我们估计ATI改变了市场
策略,又或者是NV40和R420的性能差异加速了ATI的计划。由於在ATI产品规划上没有非Pro版
本的Radeon X800,因此XT可能代替了Pro系列,而Pro则取代了非Pro。尽管首批Radeon X8
00将采用256MB GDDR3显存,但是最终我们将看到512MB版本,最后,我们将看到配备128MB
DDR1的Radeon X800 SE,当然SE版本时钟要低的多。
NV40也打破了Nvidia的命名机制,FX名称已经被去掉,NV4x GPU家族是否会有GeForce和Ge
ForceF两个独立的版本?当然这仅仅是猜测。
R420的PCI-Express版本,将在6月14日发布。R423估计将和R420相同,名称也将采用Radeo
n X800。Nvidia的桥接PCI-Express版本将和AGP版本一起在4月13日发布。
RV380和RV370也将采用新的产品名称,分别是Radeon X600和Radeon X300。"
-----------------原文
Recently we received confirmation that the first retail samples of ATI's R420 (
AGP Radeon X800) will debut April 26 as Radeon X800 Pro. NVIDIA's NV40 (GeForce
6800) officially launches April 13th, but retail availability will occur around
April 26th. Notice the NV40 product to be released April 13th is GeForce 6800,
not GeForceFX 6800. ATI's naming scheme for R420 has been closely guarded as
well, but the open term we hear from vendors is "Radeon X800."
What seems highly unusual is the scheduled introduction of Radeon X800 XT on
May 31st; only a month after Radeon X800 Pro's unveiling. Recall that Radeon
9800 and 9800 XT were launched six months apart. We can speculate ATI has
either changed their marketing strategy, or the difference in performance
between R420 and NV40 hastens ATI's release schedule. Further inspection of the
ATI roadmaps reveals that "Non-Pro" Radeon X800s are absent. Perhaps "XT" has
replaced the "Pro" Radeon series, and "Pro" thus replaced the "Non-Pro" Radeon
series. Even though the initial launches of Radeon X800 will use 256MB of GDDR3
, before the end of the year we also anticipate a 512MB revision. Furthermore,
we will almost certainly see Radeon X800 SE with 128MB of DDR1; which will also
debut with much a lower clockspeed.
NV40 breaks NVIDIA's naming scheme with the removal of FX from their GeForceFX
moniker. Will we see a separate GeForce and GeForceFX in the NV4x GPU family?
It appears that is also speculation.
R423, the PCI-Express (PCX) version of R420, is scheduled to launch June 14th.
Specifications on R423 are identical to R420, and the cards will also carry the
Radeon X800 product name. NVIDIA's bridged PCI-Express cards will launch April
13th along with the AGP versions.
RV380 and RV370 will also receive new product names, as Radeon X600 and Radeon
X300, respectively. For more details about R420, RV380 and RV370, please take a
look at our previous ATI roadmaps here. Stay tuned for more ATI and NVIDA news
from the trenches.
