Power Color X800XL 256MB (ATI)
ATI's X800XL part was initially delivered well over a year ago accompanied by the introduction of the X850XT PE. Since that point, the R400 series has dimmed in order to let the R500 cores shine. However, not everyone is interested in these latest X1000 series cards with a portion of the users who cannot experience the blazing fast capabilities being alternative OS enthusiasts. ATI Linux users seeking the ultimate in desktop performance are presently limited to the X850 series or FireGL V7100 for the workstation arena, while NVIDIA fans can run a pair of 7800GTX 512MB in SLI. However, we hope ATI's Linux developers will soon alleviate this situation by bringing fourth X1000 series support, and upon that, we will be immediately delivering our in-house results. We have not yet seen any driver builds for 2006, but are certain ATI will continue with its timely releases and offer a calendar full of extravagant feature implementations. In the mean time prior to Linux support for the ATI RADEON X1000 series, we have an X800XL 256MB caressing our systems. The X800XL core packs in approximately 160 million transistors, 16 pixel pipelines, 6 vertex processors, 110nm manufacturing process, 256MB 256-bit video memory, 400MHz core, and 980MHz memory clock. Will this be enough to do justice to NVIDIA's GeForce 6800GT 256MB part under Linux? The graphics card making its appearance today is from Power Color with a part number of X800XL256MBDDR3 R43CA-TD3D.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
