Seems like everything we care about as overclockers is being delayed of late. In fact just about everything this year has been delayed. 3DMark11, Bulldozer, X79, Ivy Bridge, and now the next generation of graphics cards based on the 28nm node are also suffering the same fate. So we are stuck with the 500 series for at least 6 more months
Do they not know that the 7970 exists?
Why are we "stuck with the 500 series" for 6 months, when the 7xxx series is here and indisputably awesome? It irritates me when authors don't restrain their personal biases while writing "news".

They are referring to nVidia's 600 series.
