The first genuinely new architecture from ATI since the Radeon HD2900 could be out in a few months.
The Taiwanese gossip diggers over at DigiTimes, report that AMD has recently told its partners that it expects its share in the graphics card market to jump from 35 per cent to 50 per cent.
The reason? Apparently, because the RV770 will be available at the end of the second quarter of 2008. DigiTimes cites sources at graphics card makers for the information.
There has been a lot of speculation about the specs of RV770, but we haven’t seen anything that looks legitimate yet.
The guys at VR-Zone reported today that the chip will have 800 stream processors, made up of five arrays of 160.
Meanwhile, Nordic Hardware reckons that it will have 480 stream processors and 1GB of GDDR5 memory, and that the top chip will be called the Radeon HD 4870.
We don’t believe a word of either of the above at the moment, apart from perhaps the name, but we’re liking the idea of a new ATI architecture being released in a few months.
