Here are the specs comparisons:
nVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX:
-0.11 micron process TSMC
-430Mhz core / 1.2GHz 256MB GDDR3 memory
-256-bit memory interface
-38.4GB/s memory bandwidth
-24 pixels per clock
-10.32Bps Fill Rate
-8 Vertex Pipes
-860M vertices/second
-400MHz RAMDACs
-NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine
-Intellisample 4.0 technology
-64-bit FP texture filtering & blending
-NVIDIA SLI Ready (7800 GTX only)
-DX 9.0 / SM 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0 supported
-G70 comes with 3 models; GTX, GT and Standard
-Single Slot solution
-Single card requires min. 400W PSU with 12V rating of 26A
-SLI configuration requires min. 500W PSU with 12V rating of 34A
-Launch : 22nd of June
ATI Radeon "R520" (These are the most-likely specs):
-24 "Pipelines"
-32 Texture Units
-96 Arithmetic Logic Units
-192 Shader Operations per Cycle
-700MHz Core
-134.4 Billion Shader Operations per Second (at 700MHz)
-256-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR3 Memory
-57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz)
-300-350 Million Transistors
-90nm Manufacturing
-Shader Model 3.0
-ATI HyperMemory
-ATI Multi Rendering Technology (AMR)
-Launch: Q2 2005
Even though the R520's specs aren't fully comfirmed, it will be POWERFUL and it seems like AMR will play a big role. However, nVIDIA will have the momentary advantage because the G70 is due to launch earlier than the R520 (sources say that the R520 launch will be delayed). Either way, it's going to be a tight fight, and it seems like the PS3 vs. Xbox 360 senario where the X360 will release earlier, although the PS3 will be more powerful in almost every aspect.
If you had the money, which would you go for? Note: Keep in mind that the R520's specs are NOT confirmed yet and will most likely be subject to change.
EDIT>>> The R520's series name will most likely be the X9xx series.
