ATI R300 Details

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

On the news page at Ace's, they have posted a link to the set of features for the ATI R300 from x-bit labs:
  • 0.15micron manufacturing technology, the chip will be produced by TSMC;
  • 350Mhz core frequency, 400Mhz+ memory frequency (DDR SDRAM);
  • 8 rendering pipelines with 2 TMUs each (16 TMUs is a DirectX9 requirement);
  • Peak T&L performance – 150 million triangles per second;
  • Vertex Shaders 2.06, Pixel Shaders 2.0. Some sources claim there will be 4-pipeline vertex shader;
  • Full DirectX9 compatibility;
  • High quality anti-aliasing and new more complex higher order surface support;
  • HyperZ III;
  • HydraVision;
  • Hardware MPEG-1/2/4 and DVD decoding (hardware motion compensation and DCT/IDCT).
  • This way, R300 will become the first graphics accelerator compliant with DirectX9. To commemorate this fact R300 family will be called RADEON 9xxx. As our sources claim, the launch is scheduled for August 10.
A heavy list, indeed. We will see what it adds up to.
