Im Grafikkarten-Business gibt es momentan nur ein Thema: ATi's neuer Radeon 8500 Chip, welcher schon als "GeForce 3 (Ti 500) Killer" betitelt wird. Ob der Chip diesem Titel gerecht wird, haben einige Websites versucht zu klären und entsprechende Testberichte verfasst. Im Folgenden einige Reviews, denen alle ein Athlon-Testsystem zu Grunde liegt:
ATIs RADEON 8500 greift nach der Krone [Tecchannel.de] "Die Vormachtstellung der NVIDIA-Chips wankt. Der ATI RADEON 8500 schlägt bereits im ersten Anlauf den GeForce3 in vielen Disziplinen, selbst der GeForce3 Ti 500 gerät unter Druck. Innovative Features und der hohe Chip- und Speichertakt bringen den hohen Leistungsschub."
ATI's Radeon 8500: She's got potential [Anandtech.com] "ATI has a short window of opportunity to make the 8500 a success; if they don't accomplish that, NVIDIA will definitely make sure that there is never this close of a call as long as they can help it."
ATI RADEON 8500 Review [Digit-Life.com] "So, we have examined the latest product from ATI from the High-End sector and tested the production card on it. If we average all performance results the RADEON 8500 will be equal to the NVIDIA's GeForce3 Ti 500. And if its price will be lower than that of the latter the RADEON 8500 will undoubtedly achieve much success. There are not many drawbacks in the drivers this time and it seems to me that the software for the RADEON 8500 was developed by another group of programmers than for the RADEON (just reread the first review of the RADEON and you will see how strong the 3D quality in games was blamed)."
