The first round of benchmarks for ATI’s new line of R600-based cards went rather well. Unfortunately, round two wasn’t as kind to them. The guys over at DailyTech were able to pit the ATI flagship Radeon HD 2900 XTX against NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800 GTX. The results aren’t pretty.
ATI’s new DirectX 10 lineup will be making its debut before long, but the guys over at DailyTech already managed to get their hands on the Radeon HD 2900 XT for some early benchmarks. If the first benchmarks are anything to go off of, things are looking good for ATI’s new cards.

According to Steve they’re looking for design feedback from potential users, so maybe they need that pointing [...]
Your next cell phone might just have a sticker that says “Powered by AMD.” Ok, they might not actually put the sticker on there, but it very well may have an AMD chip inside.

Most machines that are capable of performing more that 1 trillion floating-point calculations per second (or Teraflops) are usually more than one system combining processing power to achieve this. The system that AMD demonstrated was [...]
I’ve been disappointed in AMD lately. I used to be a hardcore AMD fan, but Intel finally won me over with their Core 2 Duo. That’s not to say that I won’t give them another chance. Today I’m taking a look at their Athlon 64 X2 6000+, their first to reach 3Ghz.
