According to The Inquirer ATi`s R300 will be named Radeon9700 on .15 micron. The Radeon10000 will be the R300 core at .13 micron.
Here a piece of the story :
“The R300 will be called Radeon 9700, where the 9 stands for DirectX 9 support and the 700 could be memory speed, we imagine, or maybe 9700 simply sounds better than 4600, which Nvidia uses for their Geforce 4.”
