A picture of the graphics card that is claimed to be a board based on the code-named graphics processor R600 from ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, has been published by an Asian web-site. The board seems to be huge and is said to have nearly extreme demands for power.
The picture that that has been leaked shows a special “long” version of ATI’s code-named R600-based graphics card aimed at original equipment manufacturers and system integrators. The version designed for DIY marker will be shorter, according to the report.
VR-Zone web-site claims that there would be two versions of ATI R600 XTX: one is for OEM/SI and the other for retail. Both feature 1GB of GDDR4 memory on board, but the OEM version is 12.4” long, whereas the retail is 9.5” long. The power consumption of the AMD R600 graphics card is 270W for 12” version and 240W for 9.5” version. The difference between the boards is unclear.
Specifications of ATI R600 published by a web-site earlier resemble specs revealed by some other sources back in mid-2006, but are not fully similar:
Officials for Advanced Micro Devices did not comment on the news-story.
i just have this to say (wtf)

- 512-bit memory interface full 32 bit per chip connection;
- 230W thermal power envelope;
