TgF schrijft dat ATI de Rage 6, waarschijnlijk een geduchte concurent voor de GeForce II en de Voodoo5 familie, aan ons zal laten zien op 24 april, precies 1 dag eerder dan NVidia met de GeForce II.
Speaking to Reuters, CFO Jim Chwartacky said: "We will be announcing a high-end product that reinforces and extends our reach into the higher margin part of the PC market."
Not that we're entirely surprised. Surely Chwartacky is referring to the upcoming Rage 6, which the company has already scheduled a 24 April (the first day of the WinHEC event) booze-up during which company president and CEO K Y Ho will unveil the next-generation chip.
Some of the technologies Rage 6 will contain were unveiled at last month's Game Developer Forum, though they were rather overshadowed by Microsoft's X-Box launch. ATI engineers showed of their Charisma Engine transform and lighting system and its Pixel Tapestry Architecture.
