ATI can't seem to makeup its mind in regards to it new R580+ chip. The release date has changed from ATI's agenda of September 14th to August 23rd. My guess is ATI wants something new on the market to meet head to head with NVIDIA’s new 7950GT, but don't be surprised if we don't see these cards in bulk quantities until mid September. ATI's partners have the X1950 XTX floating around already within the channel it is just a few more days until we see these bad boys in the light of day.
The chaps in Canada wanted to postpone the launch for three weeks to ensure there was enough supply to do a real hard launch. But since the print magazines have already gone to bed with their reviews of the hardware, at this point there is no turning back.

ATI's partners insist on showing off the hardware on the 23rd and we know that the sample cards are around.
