R520 spy pics

W1zzard · Sep 7, 2005, 10:48 PM

HKEPC has the R520 core picture (here), we have the full PCB.

The card you are seeing is the R520 XT. It is a dual slot solution and uses a cooler similar to the X850. ATI will also offer one-slot versions which will have less performance.

The will only be PCI-Express boards. AGP versions are definitely not planned.
Internally the chip will use 512-bit memory transfers. However, the external memory interface will still be 256-bit - expect some nice marketing from ATI regarding that "feature".

Right now the product lineup is:
R520 XT

512MB RAM
~600 MHz core
~650-700 MHz memory
Dual slot cooling
Dual DVI

R520 XL

256MB RAM
~500 MHz core
~500 MHz memory
Single slot cooling
VGA + DVI

R520 LE

256MB RAM
~450 MHz core
~450 MHz memory
Single slot cooling
VGA + DVI

R520 XT Crossfire Edition

256MB RAM
~600 MHz core
~650-700 MHz memory
Dual slot cooling
VGA + DVI

I guess we can expect a Pro version in between there soon.

In the thread at HKEPC linked above (translated) "it is likely that the ATI R520 will change its name to ATI Radeon X1800 series, the estimated release date for the ATI X900 series is early October".
One of these two names is correct my source says, he didn't want to reveal which one though. The October release date is correct.

its about time something like this was leaked
the heatsink mounting system looks alot like that of a 6800/7800 card.
i also take it all the ram is on one side

thats all I got to say.

THanks!!!

SPHERE · Sep 7, 2005, 11:43 PM

haha it kinda resembles a 6800 gt lol!

dam that thing is hot!

DR.Death · Sep 7, 2005, 11:58 PM

that is a nice card i wish i had the money

to buy one when they come out

15th Warlock · Sep 8, 2005, 12:01 AM

Having a 256 MBs R520XT Crossfire edition means the R520XT will only have access to 256MBs of RAM when used in Crossfire mode?

XooM · Sep 8, 2005, 12:12 AM

hmm... just out of curiousity and I respect any agreements with your source you may be under, so don't feel pressured to answer... how/where exactly did you get these pictures?

Awesome!!!! Too bad I dont have the money for one

Wazzle needs a job

i know how u feel i am building a computer and i have no money because my work fell through witch sux but what can u do

wtf8269 · Sep 8, 2005, 12:31 AM

Any confirmation on the number of pixel pipelines?

Sep 8, 2005, 12:34 AM

How many pixel pipelines & vertex shaders? Those are pretty unimpressive clock speeds if there are 16 pixel pipelines like some rumours suggested.

Sep 8, 2005, 12:36 AM

Hard to trust someone who doesn't know how to spell "though" and "October".

How dare you insult W1z

Ban stick!

wtf8269 · Sep 8, 2005, 12:41 AM

He spelled October correctly, and "tho" is an online abbreviation for "though". Besides, the guy is from Germany so I'd say he has very good English all considered.

W1zzard · Sep 8, 2005, 12:45 AM

fixed spelling... i'm sorry .. if you dont like what you read here, use the X in the top right corner of this window to reveal the truth

I just post news from time to time.

NARC is like a undercover cop in a highschool to find out who sells drugs.

nightelf84 · Sep 8, 2005, 12:54 AM

600Mhz and already dual slot cooling.. hmmm.. if the 16pp rumours hold true, can't see how it can be competitive up agaist the 7800GTX. Have you guys heard anything on power consumption?

SPHERE · Sep 8, 2005, 01:01 AM

It's intersting how there are no caps on that card

SPHERE · Sep 8, 2005, 01:19 AM

The high end ATI's been using that same cooling for a while now... cept I love the new rear mounting bracket

Higher than X850 XT PE if the thermal docs that I've seen are to be believed.
