i know about my unreliable evidence lol, but thats how it gets people talking about it... i'd say most or the 250 odd pages on the bulldozer thread are filled with speculation and crap from unreliable sources yet it gets people talking, and with the 2010 quote i was trying to show that they couldnt keep up with demand lol, and i was linking the performance of bulldozer and 700 series by this: say the 7000 series are being developed yet AMD are having some extremely majour issues with the 7000 series so more attention goes to the 7000 series to iron problems out... which COULD have caused bulldozer to suffer... and yeah its a long shot but its my 2 pence worth lol we're all entitled to opinions and ideas no? i respect your opinion on the matter but i dont think you can see my opinion and what im trying to say?
and with me sayin i think AMD will/may release the cards next year because i personally think all their r&d should go to bulldozer for the refresh and TSMC wont be able to be ready for full scale production until Q4 or Q1 but i strongly feel it will be Q1 due to possible delays that are likely to happen,, because of this as soon as TSMC are ready the 7k's and 600's can be produced but do you expect them to be released at the same time? and one company has to release first but both will be relluctant due to the whole 'wait till this is out' senario so say nvidia release first, it'll then be a few months until the 7k's will be released and visa versa,

The words "supply and demand" must be like an orgasm to most of them,.
.. I have a feeling 79xx series are going to be giving people waiting for the 79xxx cards a Bulldozer like feeling when they come out and the 89xx series you will see the real performance of the new 28nm process. OR if AMD wants to recover from the Bulldozer mess they may make the 7970's really powerful but like I said price them very high and keep stocks low just to price them even higher and then the 89xx series will be a little bump in performance and new architecture like the 5870 to 6970 .. Who knows mate but I have lost my faith in AMD after the Bulldozer mess and the 69xx series that I was hoping was going to be a nice jump in performance from the 5870 I had.. Also tired of having to deal with that fool Spyre (he's the forum admin @ AMD) on their support forums and his clan of rear kissers, they are all very rude and very unhelpful to new users and their typical answer is "GOOGLE IT" or "it has been answered" (well they couldn't find the answer that's why they asked grr), they come on their support forum to ask for help they direct to Google and sometimes ban the new user having some problem. They don't even help users with problems and try cover up what is obviously a driver or hardware problem in most cases. Only people that really did help when I reported problems was the driver team and they pushed out fixes in their next drivers. No bad feelings towards AMD if their 7970 is really going to be a lot faster than what I have at the time, i'm going to jump all over it.
