AMD is preparing to launch its new Radeon HD 2950PRO (RV670) chip on November 19, according to sources at graphics card makers.
Gladiator adopting 512MB GDDR4 graphics memory, a GPU frequency of 825MHz and a memory frequency of 2.4GHz.
{This} 256-bit GPU is more powerful than 512-bit one
We would not be surprised if a low-clocked part would retail for 199 Dollars/Euro
The load of four RV670 boards will be less than two 2900XT boards, so the difference is striking.
Looking good ... this should be a fun holiday between ATI/nVidia!
