AMD to delay the launch of Radeon HD 6000

In an interesting turn of events it would seem AMD/ATI is pulling an Intel on NVidia and is going to delay the 6000 series, but only a month.

AMD has recently postponed the launch schedule of its next-generation Radeon HD 6000 series GPUs (Southern Islands) from the original October 12 to November, according to sources from graphics card makers.

Seeing its chance, Nvidia aims to launch its new entry-level GPUs as well as cut its existing GPU prices in October to boost the market share, the sources noted.

Both AMD and Nvidia declined to comment on their products' launch schedule.

Not a huge deal, and gives enthusiasts 30 more days of interest from the money they saved.
