ATI R520 is on 90nm
http://theinquirer.net/?article=20251 ATI R520 is a 90 nanometre chip The Incredible Shrinking Fudo By Fuad Abazovic: Thursday 16 December 2004, 07:25 ATI IS HAPPY with the R520 "Fudo" even it might not be happy with the real Mc Fudo. This chip is definitely good enough to bring some smiles to their faces - at least that's what ATI hopes for. To be happy with R520. Despite the other news, we can now add that R520 codenamed "Fudo" is going to be ATI's first chip based on 90 nanometre architecture. Earlier, Xbitlabs was running this news which it got from some analyst company. This is the first time in a long while that ATI is willing to risk the potential problems and try new shrinked marchitecture on new high end part first. We all know what happened to Nvidia when it tried to do this with its NV30. ATI is confident that it will get things right and 90 nanometre chip will mean less heat, a smaller and cheaper die and more space for an almost endless number of transistors. When we learn about R520 and how is it shaping up, this chip is starting to look more and more interesting every single day. It's still a 2005 chip and it will be buried in the labyrinth of tests, and sampling for some time until we see it in Q2 next year. µ |
