Yes!!!! Very strange, even if middle of June, I would have expected something by now. But no stories of needing a respin either? Makes me wonder if the 4800 even exists. Nvda suggesting they will release info about their new card before release, does support the idea of a fast amd card coming............... but?
edit: If May 20, 2008, I would expect pictures of boxes with nice girls on them by now.

R770 to launch in the last week of June
AMD plans to show off its RV770XT and PRO cards at Computex, but it won't launch it until late June.
We've learned that AMD plans a launch and retail /etail availability of RV770XT and PRO based products in the last week of June.
We've told you before that the real retail availability is planned for Q3 2008 and Q3 as you might know will start with the first day of July. If AMD decided to launch the card at Computex, the retail cards would follow after three weeks and the company doesn?t want that.
Nvidia set up a launch and the availability rule and ATI obeys it.

RV770 GDDR5 to sample soon
RV770PRO with GDDR3 has been sampled a few weeks ago and AMD is about to sample RV770XT cards with GDDR5 memory.
As we said before RV770XT will end up as the faster from two and it has the 512bit memory support. Naturally, RV770XT is bigger and hotter than its predecessor, the RV670XT, but at the same time, it will end up significantly faster.
It will have a bigger cooler and of course it supports DirectX 10.1 and its developed in 55nm. Remember this is a mainstream/performance product and it won?t be that expensive.

yeah, remember that they used first silicon for 3870's launch. they caught nvidia with their pants down, forcing the paper launch and, later, the cooling issues of the stock hsf that plague 8800gt to this day.

That is correct but originally the 3870 was supposed to launch first then nvidia caught wind of it and launched the 8800GT before supplies were even close to ready.

Old report about 8800GT release date being moved forward.
The 3870 was the only reason why they launched the 8800GT almost a full month early.

nVidia was likely targeting G92 for a November or December launch.... remember RV670 was rumored to come in Q1 2008 initially, it got pushed up to Q4 2007.

It was originally meant for november but launched october. I can't explain the ATI launch though other than they just felt the need to put something on the market.
ATI launched late because they were releasing 2 products at the same time... actually.. its a whole new generation that they were releasing, that is why they need more time to prepare.
Nvidia on the other hand, was only releasing a refresh.. so they can release it earlier.
Neither are paper launch. 8800 just sold more due to better performance per buck...

Oh, I wasn't saying it was a paper launch.
Was just trying to say the reason for that was because they moved the launch date forward to beat the 3870 out of the gate.

No idea, but I would of believed that if they stuck their original release date they shortages would be been reduced by at least a month lol.
