In May, 2004, ATI Technologies Inc. launched the Radeon X800 series of graphics processing units, based on the R420 core. The X800 units are essentially quad-core RV360 chips, produced on a 0.13 micrometre process and using GDDR-3 memory. In terms of supported DirectX features, they are identical to the R3xx cores. The Radeon X800 series is currenty ATI's most powerful video card lineup. They compete with the Nvidia GeForce 6800 series. The highest-end version is the X800XT Platinum Edition, a fully-enabled R420 core, with a slightly lower-clocked version, the X800XT, also available. The third X800 card, the X800 Pro, is similar to the X800XT, but with one fourth of the chip disabled. A fourth version, the X800SE, is expected to be launched shortly, and will have half of the core disabled.
The Radeon X800 Pro retails for $399.99. The Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition retails for $499.99. It is in very limited availability so it typically sold for a higher price.
The X800 graphics processing units were among the first to use PCI-Express. These versions of the core use a slightly different version of the R420 core, designated the R423.
