ATI, the graphics product group of
AMD, will delay the
release of the long-awaited code-named R600 graphics processing unit (GPU),
sources said on late Tuesday. The delay is likely to impact sales of the
company's graphics cards during the quarter, as despite of low volume, the
high-end graphics card come at a high price. Officials from AMD confirmed the
product delay saying that the code-named R600 has been delayed due to
strategy-related reasons and a wish to address broader market segments.
As DX10 games will probably take at least as long to come out, I see no
problem there....
