TechNews - RV630 & RV610 delayed again - tech

(hx) 08:30 PM CEST - Apr,12 2007

RV630 & RV610 delayed again + R600 claims free FSAA - It looks like AMD will have to skip one more deadline. It is likely that it won't launch the RV630 and RV610 alongside the highly anticipated R600. In other news, Fudzilla reports that the R600 might feature free FSAA and AF in some modes.
Nvidia GF8600/8500/8300 details revealed - In a nutshell, G84 has 32 scalar shaders, G86 has only 16. It will be interesting to see how Nvidia's simplistic, but highly effective scalar design cope with less, but more complex vector units hidden inside R610/630/600/650 chips.

Sony: 1,000,000:1 OLED TV on sale in 2007 - Sony is finally ready to move an OLED TV into production sometime "within 2007." Sorry, it's not the 27-incher, yet, their first production unit will throw 1024 x 600 pixels across that wee 11-inch, 1M:1 contrast panel capable of 8-bit RGB color and covering more than 100% of the NTSC color gamut. Oh, and it's only 3-mm thick
Toshiba Offers Sub-$500 1080p HD DVD Player - Toshiba HD-A20 HD DVD player will actually debut at a price of $499. Toshiba's HD-A20 supports full 1080p resolution unlike its cheaper HD-A2 brother which only supports up to 1080i. Unfortunately, the HD-A20 doesn't feature the HDMI 1.3 interface and instead relies on HDMI 1.2. Without HDMI 1.3, the HD-A20 misses out on xvYCC support, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and automatic audio syncing.

The only plausible reasons in my mind ATI is delaying cards is because: 1- Nothing is DX10 yet. 2- nVidia DX10 cards are not meeting sales expectations. 3- They are waiting for nVidia to output their cards 'currently in holding'. ATI and AMD are both hurting, they can't afford any further mistakes.
