Dies soll auch der Grund fur die Verspätung des High-End-Direct3D10-Chips R600 sein, der kein Design- oder Softwareproblem haben soll, sondern lediglich auf seine 65nm-Mainstream-"Geschwister" warten muß.
Laut Dave Orton, ehemaliger CEO von ATI, will man direkt mit einer breiten Palette an Produkten in den Markt stoßen, was auch gut zu den bisherigen Gerüchten zu einer Umpositionierung des R600 als Verspätungsgrund passt.
"We pushed out the launch of the R600 and people thought is must be a silicon or software problem…it's got to be a bug," said Dave Orton, president and chief executiveof ATI. "In fact, our mainstream chips are in 65nm and are coming out extremely fast. Because of that configuration, we have an interesting opportunity to come to market with a broader range of products," he explained.
"Instead of having them separate, we thought, lets line that up, so we delayed for several weeks," Orton continued, referring to the R600 family as a whole, which AMD now says will come out at the same time (a matter of weeks as opposed to months, according to Richard) instead of just the high-end version.
Nach Angaben von Dean McCarron (Mercury Research) seien die weiteren Verspätungen des R600 auch nicht weiter schlimm:
"If they [AMD] didn't have it ready to go by Q4, there isn't a lot of incentive for them to get it off until the 2nd quarter,"
Ein Termin für die Vorstellung wurde jedoch nicht genannt.
