AMD confirmed the release on 19 November of its graphics chip code-named RV670. The exact brand-name under which this chipset will make its entry on the market is still a subject of debate.

Specialists assume that the name might be Radeon HD 2950 Pro, with a 55nm version of the R600 series chipset. These cards will be aimed at the mainstream market and they will come in two versions, researcher Doug Freedman mentioned from a very accurate source: "Gladiator will run at 825 MHz while Revival will clock in at 750MHz. The main difference between the two will be Gladiator's adoption of GDDR4 memory and an improved memory interface (2.4GHz vs. 1.8GHz). The G92 (from Nvidia) is likely to launch at 600 MHz and 900MHz."

This might be a very good opportunity for the average users to upgrade their systems in order to bring out the eye-candy effects from Windows Vista and also to enjoy new performance capabilities in 3D applications, like video-games, and according to our sources, this might very well be a DirectX 10.1 graphics chipset.
