FordGT90Concept They wouldn't push back a launch date if they had a new product to sell now. They likely ran into technical problems.

While I would normally say that's sometimes the logical thinking, this time I don't know... I think the silicon/process is probably fine, if I was AMD I'd see waiting for several reasons.First, I’d say AMD has the current market covered on $/performance and AMD doesn’t see themselves slipping any in sales to Nvidia, so milking it isn't a problem. I think both AMD/Nvidia would like to give both Volcanic Islands and Maxwell GPU’s more breathing room. AMD knows Nvidia won't be moving with their Kepler refresh of cards till more July-Aug 2013, or is there any firm timeline on those? I think AMD didn't like that there was such a gap for Nvidia and Kepler, they want to close that. Sure I’d (AMD) would want to be first and they will, but I don't see them wanting to give the competitor again the opportunity to completely juggle their product line-up as they start seeing all my cards. Next I think AMD also wants to pressure Nvidia to either release the GK110 card prior, and be able to figure out how best to juggle their top offering; or see if Nvidia will hide it till after the Venus XTX release. Either way that will say a bunch about what is Nvidias' level of confidence for that part. Next I think AMD can take such time to again find driver optimizations for their new GNC architecture which is still a learning curve for them.I'd say for AMD this has less to do with reorganization, although it has a lot to do with in terms of manpower. So if needing to really execute why rush... Is Nvidia showing any signs of being on-time or ahead of the curve this time? Good for AMD take the 3 months, collect a good war-chest of silicon, fully vetted drivers, and wait till they see the "green of their eyes!"
