[电脑] AMD:只要我们想,今天就可以推出R600!

原定于2006年第四季度发布的AMD第一款支持DirectX 10的图形芯片产品已经跳票一个多季度,但AMD的相关负责人Henri Richard今天突然出面说:产品早已经准备完毕,我们在任何时候都可以推出ATI R600.但AMD以产品线尚未准备完毕为由拒绝发布,普遍猜测AMD此举是为了用一个完整的产品线决战各市场,在DirectX 10 平台中获取更多利润.内含谈话原文,以及R600相关技术资料.

"The R600 will be out in the second quarter. The reason we decided to delay the launch was that we wanted to have a complete DX10-enabled solutions top-to-bottom. A lot of people wrote that the reason it is delayed is because of a problem with the silicon, but there is no problem with the silicon. We are demonstrating it. We can ship it today. But if you think about it, looking at where the market is at, the volumes are going to be in the RV610 and RV630, so it makes sense for us to do a one time launch of the entire family of DX10 enabled products,"
