It's now known as the X1950, not the X1900+. Basically the R580 core with some minor changes. The most important of those changes is the use of GDDR4 RAM. Memory clock frequencies have not been announced either, though Samsung announced its GDDR4 is already capable of 3.2GHz in 8x512Mbit configurations. There will be two flavors: the top XTX variant and the CrossFire Edition version.
There will also be a new X1900 XT, the same R580 core, but with 256MB of GDDR3 to make the price point lower than $300, making it around the price range of the 7900 GT and X1900 GT (possibly phasing out the X1900 GT).
No official specifications have been announced, nor any date. Sampling availablity for the X1950 XTX will begin on August 7, 2006 and the CrossFire version on August 14, 2006. Sampling for the new X1900 XT 256MB will begin immediately.
I will keep this updated as news comes out. If anyone would like to add to this as announcements come out, please feel free to do so.
