Sounds like a nonsense story, without translating the way the story in the link says along the lines of, manufacturers need 4-6 weeks to make custom parts, and Sweclockers think this could delay them till at least december...... thus that website is claiming not till the END of the 4th quarter while the story is titled "not available till end of November" which is both before end of 4th quarter, and much less than 6 weeks after launch. It's a contradiction, in a contradiction, based on a contradiction.......... INCEPTION.
Of course AIB's don't have huge supply, AMD/Nvidia want a specific number of high quality parts so make reference cards and ship ref cards to AIB's to ship out in their own boxes and sometimes with an awesome sticker
That is the way it always is, always has been, probably always will be. They can't ship numbers to AIB's till they've made X amount of ref cards to ensure supply.
