ATI also plans to introduce another flagship chip, the R580, in early 2006.

ATI will also soon enter the tape-out stage of its flagship R580, an upgrade
of the R520, according to the sources.

my upgrade path looks like this Radeon X800 (R420) ====> R580 winter/spring 06 =====> whatever is the refresh of R600 in 2007

skipping R480, R520 and R600

Funny that ATi is having all the problems with R520, yet R500 is set for mass production in sept. Is the X360 chip weaker? Did MS steal all ATi's resources? Was R520 shit all along?
