AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

Antilles slips to 2011, does it mean that AMD's confident Cayman would be good enough to compete GF110 by itself at launch ?

Cayman is still on track though. In all honestly I think AMD is just giving Nvidia their 15 minutes. Cayman is probably stronger than the 580 and 5970 by a good margin.

Might be right. Barts can hold the fort for the bulk of Xmas sales. No rush for Antilles.
