Ati's next graphics processor chip with codename R600 (competitive to Nvidia 8800) will have a 512-bit external memory interface and it will be equiped with GDDR4 RAM memory with 1,2Ghz frequency. That means that Ati's new card will have up to 153GB/sec bandwitch. Geforce 8800GTX has a 384-bit memory interface with 86GB/sec bandwitch. Cards with R600 will be available in the first half of 2007.
