ATI will launch its response to NV44 AGP in Q4 2004. ATI's RV351 is its last AGP chip and from RV351 on ATI will bridge its PCI-E with RIALTO bridge chip as long there is a demand for AGP cards.
RV351 is meant to replace and update Radeon 9200 cards and will be a direct representative of X300 PCIe cards in AGP market. It's like KY's representative on earth. I expect it to have four pipelines and two vertex Shader units to work with 128 bit DDR 1 memory and to be clocked at close to 300/400 MHz. As always it's possible to expect LE version that will possibly be crippled to use 64 bit memory. The card is supposed to be positioned in the sub $100 market. We expect to see this card in Q4 while it will have just introduced NV43-V, Geforce 6200 and later NV44 chips from Nvidia as direct competitors.
