John Bruno of ATI - Fish and chips? Oh yes : Interview
Added to the directory: Tue, 16 Aug, 2005. Source: Hexus.
Quote:HEXUS: So does that 12 months include sending the chip back
for any respins? Actually, did RS480 need any respins at all? We
heard whispers within ATI that your team is known for getting silicon
back working with performance and stability you could probably ship
with?
John: Well, we do well with that side of things. RS480 came back
working first time and got a silicon spin for some minor stuff before
we went to full production. We could probably have shipped the bridge
on A11 if we wanted to, though. Now this is a cool story. RS482,
which is the 110nm shrink of RS480, we got that back in a full
package, first silicon, and nine minutes after getting the package we
had it up and running, playing Doom. That's nine minutes from being
handed the package, getting it onto a socket on the board, getting
the BIOS set and booting the OS, before getting Doom up and running
on the core.
