This can't be WHY they sold stock people. You have to schedule selling stock in advance by six months. SIX months... they either knew about it then (in which case they have better yields) or they didn't know and just expected their new architecture to actually be as good as they hoped.

This just further (if true) pushes my mind towards the 5870x2. I was going to get what ever is better and from all accounts and even all rumors for both sides (high balling the gt300 and low balling the 5870x2) it just looks better.

Price AND performance. Until the gt300x2 releases (won't buy as it will be months late and cost 600$+). If true, this just basically set my x-mas buying spree.
