ATI R600 is expected to be the first graphics circuit for the PC market with a Unified Shader architecture like the one ATI has used with Xenos for Xbox 360. The launch is expected to happen at the end of the year and so far there is relatively little information available about the circuit. Now some new information about the circuit has surfaced, which you on the other hand has to consider with a grain of salt. Primarily it’s that R600 may become the largest graphics circuit that has ever been launched and it’s not just the physical size of it that will be more “impressive” than today’s circuits, the dissipation will be something out of this world, which perhaps isn’t all that surprising considering the size of it. Even if it is a bit too early to say anything about this, it’s hardly encouraging to hear this, especailly as the R580 circuit is already a hottie.
