Radeon HD 3600 Details Leaked

While the current RV670 chips are selling like hotcakes, AMD is working on putting out mid-range and low-end parts for those market segments. The successor to the HD 2600 series, according to graphics card manufacturers, will be called the HD 3600 series (big surprise). The 3600 series will come in two versions, an XT model and a Pro model. The XT will be clocked at 800MHz, and the Pro will be clocked at 600MHz. Both will be attached to 128-bit VRAM, which will run at an unknown clock speed. The Pro will have GDDR2, while the XT will have GDDR3. Both will support DirectX10.1, and the micro-architecture itself is codenamed "RV635". The RV635 should be launched with the RV620, the successor to the HD 2400 series. The RV620 should be dubbed the HD 3400 series.

So basically the only improvements are in power consumption/die size for HD 36x0. 2600XT already has 800MHz Core & 2200MHZ GDDR4 & fairly low power consumption. So far i'm underwhelmed by RV635.

I'm sad to see them still standing by a 128-bit memory bus.

Hopefully, by the next gen, 128-bit will be designated to the full out low end.

Does anyone have any idea when an AGP version of the 3850 will be available? I want to throw one in my son's computer but don't really want to upgrade his mobo as well.
