Project Loci - 00:01 - Benjamin - comments (2)
According to rumors ATI the R400 is to have gecancelt and the architecture team of the R400 is on the R500 (release end of 2004/0.09 micron manufacturing) to already work. The exact reasons are not completely clear for the moment, the problem seem however the bad yield of the Waver in connection from 0,13 mircon with low k Dielectric to to be.
Instead one wants to remain further with the project Loci at the ball. The R390 (first loci chip) is to be manufactured toward end of the yearly available and is in contrast to the R350 in 0,13 mircon. In the coming year additionally still the R420 (second loci chip) is presented whether the chip further improvements (pixel more /Vertexshader 3,0) has, or it only around a further clock increase does not act is well-known yet.
