Another Version of ATI R300 Specs.

This Chinese site once again reported some details on the supposed specs of R300 chip, giving way to rumors this way. Here is what they claim now:

  • 0.15micron manufacturing technology, then 0.13micron technology;
  • 350MHz (0.15micron) and 400MHz (0.13micron) chip frequency;
  • 8 rendering pipelines (twice as many as by GeForce2/3/4!);
  • 4 TMUs per pipeline (again twice as many as by GeForce2/3/4!);
  • Up to 256MB of DDR SDRAM, 800Mhz frequency (400MHz DDR);
  • 256bit memory access;
  • DirectX9 (PixelShader 2.0, displacement mapping...);
  • Two polygon tessellation units working within ATI Truform technology;
  • HyperZ III;
  • HydraVision.
Everything looks pretty exciting, eh? But let’s recall what the guys from this German site reported last August. If we compare two stories we will see that there is not so much new here: only the 0.13micron manufacturing technology, 4 TMUs instead of 3, a supposition about the memory access and a bit more detail on the Truform. And that’s it.
