RV280 – Another ATI Chip. [06/21/2002 12:45 PM]
by Anna Filatova
One more short news story about ATI. As we read over here, the company is planning to release one more chip aka RV280. In fact, it will be a modified RV250 chip supporting AGP 8x interface. Unfortunately, no other details about this solution have been disclosed. They also claim that ATI could have added AGP 8x support to their RV250 chip, too, however, the company thinks that this is still too early because "new interface needs more polishing" that is why they are planning to release this chip only in Q4 2002.

As you remember, SiS sticks to a totally different opinion: the first SiS648 based samples (supporting AGP 8x) are already shipping to the mainboard manufacturers and the cards based on Xabre chips (also supporting AGP 8x) are about to appear in stores any day. However, granting the supporting of your own graphics cards is much easier to implement than to make sure the interface in general works fine. So, maybe ATI is right...
