Maybe its time to let the games/apps catch up?
WE dont need new ati cards that brown screen at every chance they can + around chrismas time would not be too late IMO.
Unless they just want a leg up on nv?
Of course they push their tech to the consumers as quickly as possible, to get more sales and to get more market share. And to widen their lead over Nvidia. More money for them, better cards for consumers. Everyone is happy. Except Nvidia, but they baked their own cake.

What could be the reason of this supposed delay? To build stock and try to prevent shortage? To launch HD67xx and HD68xx at the same time?

Barts was supposed to be HD67xx, and launch later half of October, followed by HD68xx in November. Could this be just some misunderstanding related to Barts being HD67xx or HD68xx? This is just like with HD4xxx, 480 SP or 800 SP, AMD is fooling the leaks with their slides.
