Testing!!!

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

As reported, ATI R520 graphics card is not as compact as the company’s RADEON X800-series products, but is relatively long, about the same size or longer compared to NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX products. The voltage regulator design of what is allegedly the R520 XT-powered graphics card is much more complex compared to that of the RADEON X850 XT products, it involves a lot of load-bearing elements some of which require passive cooling.

Many AIB partners have received the ATi Radeon X1800XL (R520XL) card samples last Friday and the die size seems to be larger than the R520 sample we received previously. The die size is enlarged from 18.2cm x 19cm to 19.3cm x 19cm so ATi has re-taped the core and added some features unknown to us at this point of time. ATi will be unveiling R520 officially on October 5th but we do not expect mass production of the cards till end of Oct. So far we heard only 1K of such cards produced for customers qualifications and reviews. Yield rate for 16ps and 24ps R520 is under 25%.
