R350 in Mass Production

The Inquirer has some good information on the new graphics core from ATI and even claims that we should see it sometime near the end of March.
"We expect the chip to launch at a core clock of 375MHz. It will incorporate DirectX 9.1 features, which is great if you're going to keep the card for at least two years, but don't expect to see any games written for it released for at least a year."
Kind of makes you wonder why you would want to upgrade doesn't it?

On a side note the Radeon 9900 will initially be released with DDRI but also supports DDR2 for even more theoretical bandwidth.
