AMD promises R600 for '1st quarter'

AMD held their 4th quarter 2006 financial results conference call on Tuesday. In answer to a question about the timing of their next generation R600 GPU, AMD's Henri Richard, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Sales, replied: "We're still planning to bring to market the R600 product in the 1st quarter". As AMD's financial quarters are calendar based, this should mean that as of today R600's launch is scheduled to be no later than the end of March. Increasing speculation has focused on early March, or possibly CeBit (March 15-21), as a likely launch timeframe, and Richard's answer did nothing to dispel that train of thought.
