ATI Confirms Next Generation "Leverages XBOX 360 Design"
 

At a recent analyst session ATI’s Senior VP of PC Business, Rick Bergman, has confirmed that their next generation of PC graphics products will feature much of the technology developed for "Xenos", ATI’s XBOX 360 graphics chip. We’ve surmised that this is likely be the case previously, given that Xenos utilises a unified shader architecture at the hardware level, with both Pixel Shaders and Vertex shaders utilising the same ALU resources it becomes a ripe time to implement it with DirectX10 unifying the vertex and pixel shader programming capabilities in the API.
