ATI next-gen R600 Has Been Taped Out, Says Web-Site
 

A news-story over VR-Zone web-site claims that ATI’s processor internally called R600 has been made at a fab using 65nm process technology. Usually the “tape out” term means that the chip developer had received working sample of a processor from its foundry partner. Usually, it takes chip companies several months before such chip can be finalized and sold to end-users.
