then what would you call atis rv8xx? it sports MONSTROUS flexibility? cause they could launch fully fledged and cut down parts within weeks from each other... not a quarter "BEST CASE" scenario...

im really curious why it takes so long...
i cant believe that its an engineering thing, it looks more like bad planning and/or execution...
That's not the only reason. Another reason is they want more people to buy the more expensive high end part. GT200 is very flexible as well. Look at the GT216 (used in GT220) with its ~100mm^2 die size and DX10.1 support.
