ATI R600 to reach 1000MHz
While grapic chips these days top out at 700MHz on the 90nm process, ATI is working hard on the 65nm R600. Rumour has it, that the part will run at 1000MHz or more. So I guess we cannot expect the GPUs to get any cheaper or use less power these days. It is interesting to note that manufacturers move to a smaller manufacturing process and have to go for the fastest possible speed at that level. I do not think that we will see parts much faster than 1GHz.

what happened to r580+
580+ isn't much new news, but could be a 80nm/GDDR4 version of the current R580.
1GHz is fine and nice.... but when can we get the performance of a top notch card with a single slot cooler? I hope they release something x1900esque in the coming generation which is very quick, but which dosen't suck like a vaccuum in your case.
