Id think S/A is more reliable then Fudzilla, and that even Fudzilla seems less biased than NordicHardware does 😛

They just did that "test" drive of the bulldozer with crappy results too right? (apperntly everyone has a engineering sample they can just test).

Im calling Bulls*** on this, and stuff from Nordichardware.

At the very least the topic thread should be re-labelled to
"RUMOR - Nordichardware claims AMD 7000 delayed to 2012".


The way the thread is labelled now, it sounds like its "fact" when its just some rumor from 1 source only.

thats exactly what i was going to post and link to, but i cant recall where the thread is. glad someone else had the same thought.

NH's credibility definitely comes into question. maybe they mad they have been outed from getting future samples and they're trollin?
 
I certainly hope that this is not true, but regardless I was not expecting the 79xx cards to show up until early Q1 anyway and those are the ones I am interested in.

Considering their statements:

"No matter, we know that the launch of the HD 7000 series and the first GPUs on 28nm from AMD will not happen in 2011, but we are waiting for early 2012.
There are contradictory information revolving the launch of 28nm products, where our sources gave the following answer on the launch of 28nm products: "The HD7000 series? It launches in 2012". Any other information on 28nm was not mentioned."

That statement is very strong, i.e., they prob. have a source at AMD. Certainly, if they are wrong, this will be a major blow to their credibility. As you know, anything not stated officially by AMD is automatically a rumor. So I think almost everyone understands this from the beginning. It's self-explanatory. AMD won't announce the launch of HD7000 series until the product's launch date.

I changed the title thread to reflect that the statement didn't come from AMD directly. However, given that AMD said that Bulldozer will launch in 60-90 days and it still didn't happen, even if AMD sets a concrete launch date for any of their products, given their recent track record, it's also just a rumor 😉

I really hope it's not delayed, I'm growing tired of my 5870 and want an upgrade, the problem is the 6xxx and 5xx series doesn't offer a compelling upgrade for me. We shall see, I don't see what a problem with the 6xxx series, built on a different node would do to the 7xxx series.
 
I'm a big fan of die shrinks. Right of the bat, they offer advantages.
That is why , when I put together my current rig, I chose a ATI xfx 4770 , it was the best compromise , to fit within a budget I had. Compared to 55nm gts 250's or 9800gtx+'s , I knew the 40nm 4770 would have o'c headroom, free performance.
And thats how it worked out. It ran at 920/1000 and gave great performance for 105.00 back in 10/09.
Hopefully 28nm parts from both companies again have better o/c tendencies than the prior process.
 
Of course AMD will not hint at a 2011 release. It makes no business sense since the 6000 series are still selling well and Nv Kepler is no where in sight. One can even bet they won't be out until well after BF3 release. That title will help clear off old stocks before the new ones arrive. I just hope NV will suprise them with an early release just like what the GTX580/570 did.

Want to place a friendly bet that AMD's 28nm high end parts will be no more than two months ahead of Nvidia's 28nm parts? I'll bet you a $20 steam game on it....

I'm not a gambling man, regardless of the easy win.
NV's tapeout is ~5 months behind AMDs, even if everything works out, they will be very late.

Good thing you're not a betting man "regardless of the easy win". But if you change your mind, feel free to take me up on my offer! 😛
 
It has to be yield and/or capacity problems. Even if their current lineup is "selling extremely well" they could still launch a new lineup alongside the current one with a price premium. Delaying a new gpu lineup that is nearly finished because the current one is selling well does not make sense at all in this situation.

You will know soon because if its releasing soon, AIBs would have samples by now and leaks would be everywhere. The fact we haven't had concrete leaks suggests it isn't going to launch within the next 2 months. Oct is out, possible end of Nov, but unlikely. Dec or later.

As per your bet, it was any 28nm AMD vs 28nm NV, until Russian pointed out the subtle difference.

Either way, I don't take bets with strangers over the net, stop baiting its unbecoming.
 
not surpeised with the crap AMD has been pulling lately with BD. It'll be out in Q2, no wait make that september, so wait maybe october?

Maybe they are going for a combined launch of BD and the 7000 series at CES next year?

No, the original bet high end next gen vs. high end next gen and was linked. That was the first post I asked you about it. And I'm not at all baiting, I'm pointing out how the recent news/rumors is turning out to be in favor of my line of thinking and not yours

I wasn't aware of this news coming from AMD. Its yet another rumor among many, i'm taking all of them with a pinch of salt.

In other news, rumor has it that BD is slower than a 486 and isn't being released until 2013.

So people that said Nvidia was going to be late, delayed can say AMD is to ? 🙂

Its okay, nvidia will still cheat even if they are late. Just like they did with batman: AA (disabled in game AA on ATI cards) and crysis 2 (tesselation on flat objects and water beneath the world, and tesselation on non visible objects). Nvidia paid 2million US to crytek to delay their DX11 port, and they hijacked it purposely to run worse on AMD hardware. This is all well documented and proven, google it sometime.

Nvidia has a long history of cheating benchmarks and hijacking games, lets not kid ourselves. They will not ever stop doing scumbag stuff like this. So even if they're late they'll just throw $$ at game developers to cheat.
