Technical data
With the R360, aka Radeon 9800 XT, ATI once
more extended the 9800 product line at the high
end. Compared to the Radeon 9800 Pro, the XT
ran at even higher clock speeds, and ATI also opti-
mized the architecture. Radeon 9800 XT cards are
only available with 256MB of video memory.
Beware of the Radeon 9800 SE, however. Unlike
the rest of the 9800 family, this chip only features
four active pixel pipelines and is therefore closer to
a Radeon 9600. On top of that, the SE also features
a trimmed-down 128-bit memory interface.
Versions:
Radeon 9800 SE - 4PP - 128MB - 128-bit -
380/675 MHz
Radeon 9800 - 8PP - 128 MB - 256 Bit -

Radeon 9800 Pro - 8 PP - 128 MB - 256 Bit -
380/680 MHz
Radeon 9800 Pro - 8PP - 256 MB - 256 Bit
DDR II - 380/700 MHz

ATI’s Current Product Family
Radeon 9250
The Radeon 9350 is based on the Radeon 9200
series but operates at much lower clock speeds.
Versions:
Radeon 9250 - 128/256 MB - 128-bit -
240/250 MHz
Radeon 9550
From a technological viewpoint, the Radeon 9550
is nearly identical to the Radeon 9600.
Versions:
Radeon 9550 SE- 128MB - 64-bit - ??/?? MHz
Radeon 9550 - 128MB/256MB - 64-/128-bit -
250/400 MHz
Radeon X300
The Radeon X300 is the PCI Express version of
the Radeon 9550.
Versions:
Radeon X300 SE - 64/128/256 MB - 64-bit -
325/400 MHz
Radeon X300 - 128/256 MB - 128-bit -
325/400 MHz
Radeon X600
The Radeon X600 line traces its technological
roots back to the Radeon 9600XT.This card is
only available as a PCI Express version.
Versions:
Radeon X600 Pro - 128MB - 128-bit -
400/600 MHz
Radeon X600 XT - 128MB - 128-bit -
500/740 MHz
Radeon X600 XT - 256MB - 128-bit -
500/600 MHz
Radeon X700
The Radeon X700 series carries the internal part
name RV410 and replaces the seemingly short-lived
X600 line.Technologically, the chip is based on the
X800 (R420) design. As is the standard procedure
for the mainstream chips, ATI has halved the num-
ber of pixel pipelines to eight and limited the
memory interface to 128 bits.The number of ver-
tex shader units remains unchanged at six.
Versions:
Radeon X700 - 128MB GDDR3 - 128-bit -
400/700 MHz
Radeon X700 Pro - 128MB/256MB GDDR3 -
128-bit - 425/860 MHz
Radeon X700 XT - 128MB GDDR3 - 128-bit
- 475/1050 MHz

Radeon X800
The Radeon X800 cards, codenamed R420, consti-
tute ATI’s current high-end offering.While the
X800 XT Platinum Edition (PE) and the X800 XT
both feature 16 pixel pipelines and differ only in
16
