ATI Technologies has tapped TSMC's 130-nm process with the so called Black Diamond low-k dielectric for its latest release of graphics controllers.
ATI claims its new high-end Radeon 9800XT which uses a 256-bit memory interface delivers 16.5 billion operations/second compared to 5.4 billion ops/s for Nvidia's existing GeForceFX 5900 Ultra. The product will be available in October at retail for $499. These flagship products will be built in the same 150-nm TSMC process as the past generation device.
In the more mainstream Radeon 9600XT that runs at 500 MHz and above, ATI experimented with TSMC's 130-nm process with Black Diamond low-k dielectric. This part will go on sale in October at $199.
