Nothing like the good old strategy of kick them while there down.
With reletivly weak showings from nVidia, ATI is taking the war one step further with the next iteration of the Radeon series.
This chip is meant to work at over 400MHz for both core and memory, and ATI is shifting to its next development phase, meaning the chip will be ready to hip and to hop sometime in September R360 is still a nameless chip as it remains to be seen whether it will be called Radeon 9800 something or even the Radeon 9900. Expect anything on this "whether" front. The NV35, Geforce FX 5900 Ultra is not so much greater a performer than the Radeon 9800 PRO, R350 - and people close to ATI believe that it won't be difficult for the R360 to outperform the FX 5900 Ultra.
