New IGP Units from ATi and Nvidia

[Joe]

Integrated Graphics Processors are the Majority type of Graphics Units in PCs; now it is time for ATi and Nvidia to release their new inbuilt graphics solutions

ATI RS482, RS410

These differ very little above their existing RS480/RS400 solutions. RS482/RS410 only differ from their predecessors by the production method. Existing Xpress 200 core logics are produced on 130nm processes, but the new chips will use 110nm. -- These are expected to be due around June.

ATI roadmaps mention RS600 (Intel) and RS690 (AMD) on the horizon as well with Radeon X700 integrated graphics.

^^ its interesting the link between the R520 and the RS600/690

NVIDIA C51/C60

"NVIDIA's integrated graphics iteration of nForce4 surfaced with news a few weeks ago." "The internal NVIDIA roadmaps state C51 is "MCP51 in-house", which leads us to believe the development chips are multiple chips (MCP stands for Multi Chip Packaging) but the final silicon may live up to the single chip CK8 moniker - Crushed K8. C51 will come in three flavours; "G" for graphics, "D" for desktop and "M" for mobility."

Great *sarcasm* more less than spectacular graphics chips <but the rs6** may be interesting)

Get it all here

Interesting read Joe!
