Edit- Hmmm... with the info that has come to light from a different forum, it seems metal respins don't drastically help clocks.
That was what I read in the article, however I have the opinion that Charlie can exaggerate and perhaps use a bit of an artistic licence when it comes to reporting. I am still hopeful for Widespread availability in March.

I thought the Radeon 58xx launch here in the UK was awful, units have only just started shipping here in very limited quantities this past week, are you going to say that Fermi would be worse? and that we would need to wait until MAY?

Perhaps the respins are not only for hopeful increases in clockspeed but for bug fixes too?
