Gamespot has a preview up on the new Radeon's features. Here's a snip:
The Radeon 7500 is designed to be very fast in the current crop of games. ATI has transitioned the core of the Radeon 7500 over to a .15-micron lithography process as well, which helps the chip to run at 270MHz. By borrowing the memory controller from the more powerful 8500, the Radeon 7500 is able to accept 64MB of 230MHz DDR memory, providing the 7500 with much more memory bandwidth than the original 64MB Radeon...
I especially liked the stained glass pic, very nice. Check it out here (http://gamespot.com/gshw/stories/flat/0,12880,2804040,00.html).
