AMD Confirms Radeon HD 6900 Launch on December 13th

As we all probably know, AMD's Cayman GPU was supposed to be released this week. However, AMD's partners sent us warning signals during October and early November that the launch was unlikely to happen due to abysmal state of samples, with some partners receiving nothing more than bare-naked silicon. No BIOS, no drivers all caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

Naturally, the call to delay the launch came through and AMD pushed the launch at a later date, causing dual-Cayman part to slip into first quarter of 2011. In meanwhile, nVidia launched its "refined Fermi" or "fixed Fermi", GeForce GTX 580 and received a lot of praise from the reviewers. Our own review came to a somewhat expected conclusion.
