It reduces prime costs, which is relevant for inexpensive products. The main difference from the top R600 GPUs is the 65 nm process technology used to manufacture the RV630/RV610. Not much time passed since their initial announcement. It inevitably affects sales, market share of the company, and its financial welfare.Īnd now time has come for AMD's low-end and mid-end solutions with DirectX 10 support to enter the market. R6xx had the same fate as the R5xx solutions. Since that time the company has been always behindhand with its releases. Common users derived only benefit from it - they regularly got decent products from two companies. Since that time and until 2005 we had been watching the interesting fight between two strong competitors. The fall was also caused by some mistakes made by NVIDIA (remember the failure of GeForce FX). Those times ended with the advance of brilliant R3xx chips and RADEON 9x00 graphics cards from ATI. The time of NVIDIA's domination came after 3dfx had died down in 2000-2001. It's so sad to watch ATI gradually give ground to NVIDIA since 2005. The other graphics cards and GPUs based on the unified R6xx architecture were delayed, we were provided only with theoretical information. Although the AMD R6xx architecture had been announced in May, only the top R600-based solution appeared on the market at that time.
