ATI FY2006Q1 Results and Conference Call

There was a link showing two x1600xt's beating a x1800xl by about 30 points in 3dmark05.....can't find it now though.

 

There is the Inq. I think some guys were doing xfire x1600s over at xtremesystems forums also if you look around there you may find some numbers.

 

Hmmm ATYT is mighty tempting right now. Got a lot of big obstacles behind them - Xenos, Crossfire, 90nm, R520. Still strong in mobiles, making good inroads in the chipset space. If they can continue executing well through the r580 and r600 product cycles, they could have a bumper year similar to what Nvidia had in 05. I think they will do well regardless of what Nvidia does with G71/G80. One thing's for sure, Nvidia will have a hell of a time hitting their targeted 45% margins with ATi in form.

 

Thx! 30 points, right on the money.

 

Ya but thats the inq and it's 3dmark.
I mean in real games.. like quake 4, far cry fear etc.

 

As long as they do not remove or gimp current HQ image options in the name of "performance" I am with them. Of course if they expand said options in other areas, even more so.

 

Where can I listen to this conference call? Couldn't see a link, or is it even possible?

 

I don't think for a second that this is the case in real games. 30 points more in 3DMark? No, thanks. Let me see D3, Q4, FEAR, etc. With AA/AF and all.

 

Well.. I'm waiting and am interested.. after all xfire 1600's is a cheaper platform (untill january 24th.) than 1800xl...

 

Just like R520 was going to contribute to Q305 results?

 

Ah yes.. well..that's behind us now.. I really think r580 will be there, seen how much success they had with the product in comparison to the r520

 

Hmmmm, first time I've listened to one of these calls. Somehow I expected it to sound more.....corporate, if that makes any sense. Funny to hear these guys quoting a bunch of websites and talking about overclocking to investors.

 

The "from ourselves" bit sounded added on there. If they meant to convey the message that they were going to retain performance leadership they would've worded it much differently. Who recaptures something they already have, lol

 

sounds like 30 days to me...

 

I disagree. They could have worded it differently and emphasized their retention of leadership while still sticking it to Nvidia. Something simple like "Over the next 90 days you will see us extend our performance lead in the high-end segment" would have done a much better job.

The word "recapture" completely dilutes any sting that sentence may have had. The "from ourselves" part just makes it sound like like they're not sure what they want to say - it certainly doesn't appear to be a jab at Nvidia. If that was their intention their choice of wording was very poor.

 

Listened to it a couple times. I think the 30 comes from the fact that the preceding word was "next". So the "t" in next kinda flowed into the next word. But I listened for a distinctive "th" sound and didn't hear any so I settled on ninety. It's all PR bullshit anyway unless they have a couple G71's in house.
