Here's a translation:

ATI should officially announce its all new GPU - R580 on 2006/1/24, and will officially name all the video cars with this GPU as the Radeon X1900 series cards. Although we have been hearing a lot about this through the grape vine, but has never seen the Real McCoy, but the editoral team of HKEPC has never disappoint our eager readers, so here it is!
As we can see the die has grown bigger. if its based on 90nm design, this gigantic die would probably hold more than 350 million transitors on there.

Right now, ATI has not yet release its specification to the manufactures, but we only know that there would be 3 different versions, the top of the line X1900XTX, which will replace the old PE version, core speed of 650mhz, and memory speed of 1550mhz . Then follow by X1900XT with core - 625mhz, mem - 1450mhz.

As for the CrossFire version, it will be announced on the same day, and with the core - 625mhz, and mem - 1450mhz. Additionally, ATI revealed that the X1900XTX will require at least 450W of power supply, a 30A of 12V output, and as for the CrossFire version, it would require 550W, and a 38A 12V output to fire up that sucker.
