Industry sources confirmed that ATI is throwing a big party at Europe's most infamous party spot, at Ibiza, Spain. The company plans to do the briefings and the launch of R520 and the other generation of the cards.

I think that this time ATI will really push the boat out. We know that ATI invited about 100 press beggars and it plans to book PR spinners and its staff in a four star beach hotel. We learned that some of key ATI people known for both architecture knowledge and partying skills will be there. ATI will have its VP of desktops, a chap named Richard Heye [Wasn't he at AMD? Ed.], and some other names as Raja Koduri, Terry "drivers" Makedon, Richard Huddy, and developers, developers, developers.

Some university professors from the US will be at the launch and apart from the marchitecture, previews, overclocking and seeing the R520 in action ATI plans to hold some wild parties.

Lucky chaps like me will be able to enjoy the night in the Pacha night club one of the most interesting places for partying in the world and apart from the usual hacks that cover such events some unusual names such as MTV, Euronews, and the Sci Fi Channel are expected to attend.

ATI Canada is also throwing a party in Oakland, California. So, Oakland or Ibiza?
