So you suggest AMD face same problem of Nvidia ?and they will need to disable 2SIMD and release cut off "fermi version" .... lol
if it was the case so the 6950 will have 4SIMD disabled so ....
If the full Cayman have some problem, his little brother using the same core, will face the same problem .. if AMD need to redesign the 6970, they redesign at same time the 6950...
you can't separe the downgraded version of the 6970 ... as you can't separate the GTX470 of the 480 ( who is just a 480 with 1 SIMD disabled ( with memory controller downgraded too )
