Sunnyvale (CA) – Industry sources are telling us that AMD will be releasing its dual-processor R680 graphics card one week early.  The NDA on all the technical specs was due to lift on January 28th, but our source tells us this has been moved up to the 23rd.  We’ve yet to get a confirmation from anyone at AMD.

AMD's R680 board 

The upcoming R680 contains two graphics processors on a single board and will eventually allow four processor CrossFire mode on select motherboards. TG Daily was briefed on all of the specs of the R680 last week at the Consumer Electronics Show, but we won’t be able to release those details until the NDA lifts.

UPDATE - January 16th 1:00 PM PST

Looks like our industry source was correct (not that we really had any doubt).  AMD has just told us that the NDA for the R680 has been moved up to  12:01 AM EST on January 23rd.
