AMD: We got the new gpus ready, but...

AMD: Well, damn, can't get all the parts.
Partner:How long will this delay our launch?
AMD: Dunno.
Partner: Can't you give us any idea?
AMD: I dunno. Maybe a week.

AMD: Don't worry, we'll know for sure on the 19th...
Partner: Guess that kills the 22nd launch, let's leak this.




Funny, I said that memory was gonna cause a delay, now they say DrMos. Wish they could make thier minds up.

I can't see memory causing a delay, I mean samsung alone probably has more than enough production to meet that demand.

It's good to see them going the extra mile and using high grade parts, however a graphics card usually only has a 2 year life before upgrade time (especially high end gamer cards), maybe they should have used the renesas chips this time instead?
