New Radeon 9500 Reported to be Shipping This Month
By Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
October 9th 2002
Mid-range Radeon with few compromises expected to be released shortly.
>From various sources around the web, it appears that ATI's lower-priced Radeon 9500
>graphics card will make its appearance this month.
ATI previously stated in July that the Radeon would ship in Q3. However, DigiTimes has
reported that ATI will ship the card next week, although the company has not set an
explicit date.
The 9500 is expected to be only slightly slower than the current high-end Radeon 9700.
The 9500 sports a slightly lesser clock than the 9700, running at 275MHz. The 9500
will be accompanied by the 9500 Pro, which also differs only marginally from the 9700
in terms of its architecture. A cost-saving measure for the 9500/Pro will bea 128-bit
memory bus.
According to xbitlabs, both cards will support 8x AGP and Direct X 9.0. The 9500 Pro
will have eight rendering pipelines, versus four for the 9500.
ATI expect the 9500 series to go head to head with the nVidia GeForce Ti 4200 card.
