Radeon X2900: The New NVidia Killer?

ATI, or should we say AMD, has postponed the release of their new generation of GPU, code name R600, for months.
But according to benchmarks published by Dailytech, it was worth waiting for.

The Radeon X2900 XT is faster than the corresponding NVidia flagship 8800 GTS in all benchmarks. Last but not least, the Radeon X2900 XT is even faster than the Professional-oriented and very expensive Quadro FX 5500!
So, it is good news, and could explain the on-going rumor concerning the Radeon X2900 XT as a BTO for Mac Pro. Let's hope that it will be silent too, and that the air inlet of the GPU cooling system will not trap dust as for the Radeon X1900 XT.
