ATI's R520 to ship by end of Q3

ATI informed its Taiwanese clients it will gradually begin volume shipments of its R520, RV515 and RV505 by the end of this quarter.

In addition, ATI has begun to design an R-series GPU, the R516, for the entry-level graphics card market. However, the R516 will be built with a 90nm process at United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), instead of TSMC, the source noted.
