Radeon HD 7950 Launch Delayed to February

On the 22nd of December, 2011, AMD paper-launched its Radeon HD 7970. By all measures, it appears like when the card hits retail availability on the 9th of this month, AMD will have a winning product at hand, for the price-segment it's targeting with that. According to latest reports, a leaked confidential email of AMD sourced by Guru3D (now redacted) says that AMD wants to launch Radeon HD 7950 on the same day of its retail availability, which happens to be in the first week of February, 2012. So no Radeon HD 7950 on the 9th of January, as we were earlier told about. The Radeon HD 7950 will be an important SKU for AMD, as it's more affordable than the $550 HD 7970.
