X800 XL Availability

by Anand Lal Shimpi on December 16, 2004 11:54 PM EST


My meetings today with ATI went very well, we had some extremely good discussions about performance impacts of GPUs on OS X Panther as well as Tiger. I will be rolling a lot of that discussion into a future article.

I wanted to chime in with an update on the X800 XL availability that I got from the meetings today. While ATI will be getting me a more firm date shortly, I was told that the X800 XL would be shipping in volume at the beginning of January, meaning availability sometime in January. ATI seemed quite insistent that there would be large availability of X800 XL boards (although not in brick and mortar stores as few are interested in carrying PCIe cards) in January. I will let you all know as soon as there is more concrete information available.

I'd also like to announce that I encountered no traffic on my trip to and from Marlborough, MA today...ah how refreshing :) Too bad it was still 122 miles each way of boring highway driving...
