ATI Technologies’ very own COO and President David Orton said in his speech at the Merrill Lynch Hardware Heaven Technology Conference that the company plans to release integrated core-logic with DirectX 9 graphics in the fourth quarter this year or in early 2004.
Talking about integrated chipsets, particularly about core-logic for mobile computers, Mr. Orton said that his company plans to continue moving integrated graphics with DirectX 8.1 support into mobile segment throughout the year, but also intends to bring DirectX 9.0-supporting integrated chipset in the fourth quarter 2003 or in 2004, probably in the first half of maybe even the first quarter.
Although the progression to new standards is generally considered a good thing, it won't make a difference if you can't back it up with power. (http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2003q2/geforcefx-5200/index.x?pg=1) Hopefully ATI won't make the same mistakes.
