DigiTimes reports that ATI is delaying its RS400 and RS480 core-logic chipsets which will "drive" Pentium 4-based and K8-based processors respectively:
ATI Technologies is likely to
postpone the launch of its new integrated north bridge chipsets, the RS400 and RS480, to the fourth quarter of this year, instead of the third quarter as originally planned, according to sources at Taiwan PC makers.
If ATI fails to bring the two chipsets to the market in early October, the company may miss the opportunity to secure orders from PC OEMs, which tend to have their fourth quarter goods shipped before the end of October, the sources noted.
