The Inquirer is spilling out the usual round of rumours. I advise you to take all of this with a big grain of salt but if it were true than ATI will have Nvidia and customers on a run for the most bang for the buck. However, we have learned that ATI's next generation R350 chip which will compete with the Geforce FX is now in mass production, and will definitely be in retail stores in April. It will be officially announced at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany on March 12, 2003. Radeon 9900 Pro R350 VPU 375Mhz core clock DirectX 9.1 support 10 layer PCB 128MB 2.5ns GDDR-I External power supply (350w PSU) needed Inq assumes the launch price will retain somewhere near the magic 400 mark. A separate INQ article today mentions the R350 will have support for DDR I at launch. However the above mentioned one states that it can support DDR II, and ATI will offer this if it sees a cheaper future for it.
