The way the component industry works is that you either launch your product in January or in case you are not ready by then, you have to push the launch back till after Chinese New Year.
The target to launch Radeon HD 6990 in the latter half of February, but don’t be surprised if it slips to early March.

Sounds nice.. I'm sure it will be very fast (and expensive) but how is 7000 series "right around the corner"?

No...in Q3 2011, AMDs mobile 7970 will be out. THEN they will release the 7000 series (desktop) a couple of months later...

amd's own roadmaps have the 7 series slated to come between the end of Q3 and the beginning of Q4 without any delays on the new 32nm chips.

I did read that the new 6990 is supposively fixed of micro stuttering. Quoted price by the owner of overclocking.uk was set to $499 usd. at that price i'm thinking it will be 2gb and not 4gb. which is very fine by me as long as it runs on a dual 6950 level or above.

was around a year between 5 and 6. expecting to see the same between 6 and 7. no way you will see from 7 to 8 in only like 4 or 5 months max.

Link??? Noooo J/k, really anything this early means nothing, AMD could post a report that says they will be here Q3 2011 and the date will change over and over again until launch. Really nothing would surprise me.

Well if the 7000 series is anything like Bulldozer it should be arriving around Q3 2014 lol. I agree with you this is far too early to tell, but still it seems like new GPU families are being released sooner and sooner.

When AMD really announces 7XXX then I'll believe it - I do not ever stand by rumors.. so stop spreading rumors (there is no fact proof)

6990 will be better than any 7XXX card unless they bring another dual solution so period.

Word you are looking for is purported, he hasn't reported anything as none of it is fact.

Looking to upgrade soon so hopefully AMD comes up with the goods.
