AMD will indeed release its ‘RV670′ graphics chip on 19 November - as predicted - an analyst has claimed the company told him recently.

As yet, however, RV670’s go-to-market branding remains unknown - some pundits have suggested ATI Radeon HD 2950 Pro - but American Technology Research’s Doug Freedman last week told investors that the part will debut on 19 November. The part is a 55nm version of the existing ‘R600′ GPU core.

According to an ExtremeTech report, Freedman confirmed past reports that the two versions of RV670 due to be launched, ‘Gladiator’ and ‘Revival’, run at 825MHz and 750MHz, respectively.

The launch date of nVidia’s upcoming GeForce 8800 GT (G92) GPU is brought to October 29 from the original November 12, targeting AMD’s new Radeon HD 2950PRO (RV670) as the major competitor.

With G92 and RV670 having a tight performance/price ratio, Nvidia’s earlier launch should give the company an advantage in the market, noted the sources.

In addition to G92, Nvidia will also launch the G98 GPU to replace the GeForce 8600 series, however the launch date has not yet been set, added the sources.

The new G92 is the first to transition to 65nm transistors, and will support PCIe 2.0, featuring 112 stream processors and 256bit memory interface. The G92 is supposed to replace the EOL 8800GTS 320MB.

ATI adds value priced HD 2900 PRO 512MB and 1GB graphics cards to lineup, same core as 2900XT but a lower clock.

The first of the HD 2900 PRO cards features 512MB GDDR3 and a 9-inch fansink. The card will include two DVI-I to VGA adapters, one component HDTV adapter, an ATI DVI to HDMI adapter, and one 9-pin VIVO adapter and a CrossFire bridge interconnect.  AMD claims this card will hit store shelves at $249.
