The DirectX 10-supporting AMD R600 graphics chip made on 65nm will be available on the market on May 19 after months of delay, according to sources with Taiwan's graphics card distributors.

The R600 had originally been scheduled for release in the second half of 2006. A rescheduled launch for March this year was again delayed by a serious shortage of GDDR4 memory, the sources said.

The sources pointed out that AMD will skip the 80nm process and make the R600 at 65nm. The R610 and R630, which will also adopt a 65nm process, will also be released in June, the sources added.
