your argument makes no sense, if nvidia could indeed easily do all those things, it would actually benefit AMD much more to keep them in the dark about upcoming products. Nvidia cant do those things nearly as easy as you claim but if indeed they could, how is it helpful to leak performance numbers of an unreleased product?
The more nvidia can react, the more AMD needs to keep them in the dark.
You know the lanch date and you have to wait if you want comparisons anyway, in two weeks they can still improve drivers and xfire support and what not, and its not because there is a tech comunity crying out for benchmarks that they need to comply.

In the end, the GTX580 is not really doing as much damage to AMDs sales as people seem to believe, and it is in short supply. I see no reason at all why AMD needs to telegraph their competitor what they will be releasing in 2 weeks, especially since there is still a 570 to come.
