R500 to have more than 200 million transistors?

I could see that a R3XX based VPU not having VS/PS 3.0 specs - but a 'R400' not having it would definitally give the edge to Nvidia.

I was much more confident of ATI last year when they had R300 launching and clearly defined R400(east coast team) and
R500(west coast team) concurrent development going on. now it seems very very confused and muddled. at least to us it does. perhaps all is well at ATI. perhaps not.

So east coast team is now developing both R400 or Loci and R500
(with R500 being what R400 was?)

And west coast team is developing the next Nintendo console graphics.

or am I hopelessly confused here?

But isn't it even more dangerous to set too high a target and fail miserably?

I don't see any "fail" with NV35 on the market...

Hmm... it isn't though really, is it?

Agreed.

Likely the west coast team is working on Loci. R500 development is probably based in Toronto with a large degree of co-operation from Marlborough. I think the east coast team mainly works on set-top & multimedia solutions. Those are just guesses based some miscellaneous observations though.

MuFu.
