Slides For ATI’s New Chipsets

“While ATI does crow a bit about huge chipset sales (slide 2), the fact of the matter is that finding one of these chipsets can be a quite a task. For the most part, the RADEON line of chipsets has been locked into the low end product segment that does not garner much press from sites like ours.

Throughout 2004, the RADEON XPRESS line has been fairly weak in the performance department due to a crippled a memory bus, at least in the eye’s of the enthusiast computer user. With the initial launch of the RADEON XPRESS 200 for the AMD platform last year, ATI finally overcame their performance woes in the memory bus department where DDR-400 is concerned. Now that ATI has all that fixed, where are the motherboards? Hmmm. I do know where they are not, and that is on our test bench.”
