Two new things from ATI today. The first is their Radeon X700 range of GPUs. The RADEON X700 delivers excellent graphics performance for gaming and visual processing, at a price suited to a broad range of customers. Worth a look if the X800 range is too expensive for you, it's competing with NVIDIA's GeForce 6600 range. Coverage on Bit-Tech, DriverHeaven, HardOCP, Hexus, HotHardware, NeoSeeker, PC Perspective, Sudhian and Tech-Report, while Xbit have architecture and performance covered. ATI's X700 is being discussed in this forum thread.
The other announcement is Catalyst AI, which is an application-specific optimization feature of their new drivers. This is interesting, because application-specific optimization is often regarded as "benchmark cheating" and subversive use of this technology has been the subject of much debate. However, having it as a feature you can turn on and off promises a real performance boost. Coverage on Beyond3D, DriverHeaven and TweakTown. Catalyst AI is being discussed in this thread.
