just about the only implementation of this chipset
Inno3D also made those. And I think one other Taiwan/China based company too. But they probably just bought unsold chip stock from VIA.

First of all, AF wasn't really broken on R600 series. It's just wasn't very spectacular due to low amount of texture units. And secondly, was AA really broken? I doubt that. More likely it was just designed that way to be more flexible with upcoming technologies (deferred rendering, etc). R600 was very forward thinking chip, which failed due to lack of raw processing power.
No R600 used the shaders instead of decidated hardware like nvidia was to do AA, they corrected that with the R700 series, and went back to not processing AA/AF on the shaders.
