According to Shetty, the new product
deploys the powerful Radeon HD 5870 running at 850MHz, which
optimizes their joint performance. "Since it is a premium
product with only 1,000 units available worldwide, we will be taking
back-to-back orders from the end of July. It is a special limited

but every product has its own buyers and we have kept that segment in
our mind,” added Shetty. The Asus Ares will be available through
its distributors in India.
