According to some web news, NVIDIA GeForce GT 430 and AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series are planned for launch on October 19.

InsideHW:

AMD and NVIDIA have both scheduled their new video chipset releases for the same day, a possible slip has suggested yesterday. Both the Radeon HD 6000 and GeForce GT 430 should be unveiled worldwide on October 19. AMD’s launch would be a week later than first planned, and would likely see cards ship in full by November with the top-end Radeon HD 6870 leading the group.

Both lines will be built on a 40 nanometer process, but the two will have different focuses. Specification leaks have suggested the mid-range Radeon HD 6700 series could be twice as fast as the 5700 series graphics they’d replace, but the GeForce GT 430 is intended as a budget design that brings DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 features to entry-level desktops. No mention has been made of Mobility Radeon HD 6000 chips so far, but AMD has usually staggered its desktop and mobile launches. NVIDIA is already shipping its GeForce 400M graphics. One of the earliest adopters of the Radeon HD 6000 series may be Apple, as Mac OS X 10.6.5 betas already reference the new chips in what’s usually a prelude to new models.

Guru3D:

Looks like actual volume availbiliuty of AMD’s upcoming Radeon 6000 series prodyct will be available later then the launch date. DigiTimes was told that mass shipments of AMD’s new graphics cards are slated for November, and the site also reports that NVIDIA will cut the price of its GeForce GTX 460 768MB and introduce the entry-level GeForce GT 430 (GF108).

NVIDIA is set to launch its new entry-level GeForce GT 430 (GF 108), which should have a large shipment share, around October 19 with its mainstream product, the GeForce GTX 460 768MB to see its price drop and attack AMD’s ATI Radeon HD 5000-series.

As NVIDIA started an attack with its Fermi-series and announced it has regained the lead over technologies at GTC 2010, AMD has started its counterattack. As Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) changed the schedule of its new manufacturing process causing AMD’s Radeon HD 6000-series to continue adopting its 40nm process, rumors about the new GPU’s lower-than-expected performance and launch schedule have been circulating in the IT market, therefore, AMD has decided to officially launch its Radeon HD 6000-series on October 19, a week later than the original schedule of October 12, with the Radeon HD 6870 possibly the first for launch.
