Sorry, no text and commentaries, only the raw specs :-).

Sources: AnandTech #1, AnandTech #2, The Inquirer, ATi Roadmap #1, ATi Roadmap #2, own sources.

ATi R300:
• 107 million transistors
• 0.15 µ process by TSMC
• 512 bit architecture (?)
• 8 rendering pipelines with 2 texture units each
• 16 textures per pass (required by DirectX9)
• Quad Vertex Shader engine
• complete DirectX 9.0 compatible
• Vertex Shader 2.0
• Pixel Shader 2.0
• Displacement Mapping support
• 64 bit rendering precision
• Floating point rendering
• 256 bit DDR-RAM memory interface (?)
• Core clock: on 0.15 µ and 107 mill. transistors expected at 200 - 250 MHz
• Memory clock: alleged at 350 MHz = on a 256 bit memory interface results in 20 GB/sec bandwith
• HyperZ III
• HydraVision

ATi RV250:
• ca 35-45 million transistors (estimated)
• 0.15 µ process by TSMC
• 256 bit architecture
• 2 rendering pipelines with 2 texture units each (?)
• 6 textures per pass
• Single Vertex Shader engine
• complete DirectX 8.1 compatible
• Vertex Shader 1.1
• Pixel Shader 1.4
• 128 bit DDR-RAM memory interface
• Core clock: alleged at 300 MHz and more
• Memory clock: probably the same as core clock = 300 MHz and more
• HyperZ II
• HydraVision
• = a Radeon 8500 (R200) with only 2 rendering pipelines, but higher clock rates
