According to Fudzilla, it looks like AMD will have to skip one more deadline. It is likely that it won't launch the RV630 and RV610 alongside the highly anticipated R600. Radeon X2900 series will officially launch in May and the NDA presentation will take place in Tunisia on the 23rd and 24th of April.  This is just one in a series of delays at ATI so we are not really surprised. RV630 and RV610 are 65 nanometres and TSMC still have some problems ramping up the production volume and yields. It is now certain that the mainstream and entry level DX 10 parts from ATI won't arrive until June, if not later.

In other news, Fudzilla reports that the R600 might feature free FSAA and AF in some modes. They don't have a lot of details, but at some resolutions and settings you should not see any real penalties when you enable FSAA and AF. That is why we call it "free". The Xbox 360 Xenos chip can do this with 4X FSAA and 8X Anisotropic filtering if we remember correctly. The R600 secret must lie in the 512 bit memory controller. Xenos has 10 MB of embedded memory that helps it do the free 4X FSAA and maybe the R600 can benefit from its ultra fast 512 bit memory controller and its fast memory.
