Rumour pot The Inquirer says it has gathered information that the upcoming next-gen ATI GPU will be named Radeon 9700 and that a 0.13 micron version will be called Radeon 10000. Read more... The R300 will be called Radeon 9700, where the 9 stands for DirectX 9 support and the 700 could be memory speed, we imagine, or maybe 9700 simply sounds better than 4600, which Nvidia uses for their Geforce 4. Radeon 10000 will be the label for the next R300, which will be introduced as soon as November and which will be produced using 0.13 micron technology. And it?s likely be faster as well. The Inquirer
