Did ya'll see this? I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this? Fact or Fiction?

ATi rejects R420 and sets on R500
To all appearances ATi knows somewhat more than the remaining world and sees themselves therefore forced to reject the R420 completely and directly on the successor to set the R500. So ATi has quietly and quietly at the successor trade ELT, while the world waited for the R420. The R500 is allegedly three times faster than the R420!
Reason for this radical step is obviously nVidias future flagship, which seems to be so fast that ATi sees itself except conditions, to begin with the R420 against it. Whether the alleged 16 pipelines of the NV40 are reason for ATis acting or which regards other surprises of the NV40 ready as us, can be so far only speculated.
Surprisingly zaubert ATi however a successor from the hat, which is to take up it with the competition. The R500 ward born. It is to concern a multi-chip solution, which makes possible up to four GPUs on a plate. An PCI express interface is naturally likewise obligation such as GDDR3 memory. Even the solution with only a R500-Grafikchip on the plate will probably not be delivered with less than 512 MT GDDR3 memory. At least 1024 MT memory are to a four-chip solution on the diagram map at the disposal.
Further details are so far however not yet well-known and so may also upon the clock rates and the price be momentarily only speculated. Many more interesting is however, which may be expected of nVidia in view of this message. From the R420 one expected already much, but if ATi can bring the R500 now even without temporal delay directly on the market, the increases in output might be again larger to the current diagram chips finally times than few per cent points.
But nVidia might it still another hot spring is naturally not dormant and so also become, with which nobody would like to lose so fast customers to the competition.
