ATi Radeon X1300CE is a value solution to meet Windows Vista's requirement for Aero 3D GUI, where Windows Vista is available in 2007 Q1. Codename RV505CE, it's designed for Windows Vista and already awarded Vista Premium logo. It's based on RV516, owning 4 Pixel Shader pinelines and 4 Pixel Shader Processors, and clocked at 350MHz. But it supports 64Bit memory controller and 1 DVI output only. RV505CE is not compatible to RV516 and hence manufacturers need to redesign a PCB for the new chip.
