ATI Licenses Intrinsity Tech
ATI has announced it has inked a deal with design firm Intrinsity that could allow future products to run at four times their current speeds. Very good news for ATI fans.
[blockquote]Intrinsity's Fast14 technology could enable ATI to design GPU logic that clocks up to four times faster than today's clock speeds, according to a company spokesman for Intrinsity. Current high end GPUs clock in the 400-600MHz range, so a chip using Fast14 technology could deliver GPUs that run in the 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz range. Fast14 doesn't help with memory clocks, including onboard cache memory, so only the logic portion of the chip would run at the high clock rates.[/blockquote]
