CeBIT 2007 coverage from Taiwan (Part 1) – DDR-3, SSD and R600

There have been a lot of stories reported recently as to why the R600 has been delayed ranging from DDR-4 memory production and supply issues to AMD changing direction and waiting extra time to release a full top-to-bottom range of graphics cards based on the R600 program.

Whether or not any of this is true or not is unknown but we think it’s probably a mixture of both but based on our discussions with Taiwanese companies, we think more of the reason has to do with production issues. Nevertheless, it seems like AMD and ATI are finally starting to get things under control. Most of the major graphics cards partners will have R600 demo systems on display at CeBIT but from what we heard, AMD is supplying ready-built systems and partners are not allow to modify the system in anyway.
