AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[Heinz68]

Everyone is speculating, I was making a comment about something that was rumors. I wasn't saying it was fact or anything. Seriously what is your problem? You really want blood it seems.

I am just some guy on a forum, like everyone else. I don't claim to have connections and I am not a journalist who's words really have an impact on the market or others buying decisions. I am not making money on what I post, I don't have a website even.

Given the info and leaks at the time(none at all really about the hardware specs), about cards just making it into partners hands at the time(where I said it could be a paperlaunch), that guess is fair especially since we were getting so little info available at the time. I remember a person who is connected to AMD in India saying, the headquarters there doesn't even have the card. There was a lot pointing to little quantities to no quantities, especially in China, where if there was a large amount of cards, I think it is fair to expect a leak. Its alot easier to protect from leaks if there are little cards in production. I remember digitimes saying something also about a lack of cards.

Considering how little information has made it out until about a 3 days ago and no news about a card at all sometimes indicates the card is still not finalized yet. The leaks for 68xx and even 58xx were a lot more concrete a month before release.

I think the paper launch speculation had some weight at the time considered the delayed release and the need for AMD to release competition at the time.

We are all just making speculation at this point.

We all make revised statements as more information comes in. This forum is proof of that and this thread itself. However some rumors are more ridiculous than others and I think we should be able to filter though some of them that are more ridiculous. The more ridiculous a rumor you can believe, the more of a fanboy you are. I think what separates a fanboy from a regular person is to take into account reason in speculation. Any time I have said something relatively different that people may not agree with, I have explained my reasons.

Way to long reply, doesn't make you right.
You just can't have it both ways, maybe next time think twice before posting. Specially if it is something negative about AMD in AMD thread.

If it was your ONLY negative post about AMD in this thread I would have probably ignore it.

First you were speculating about paper launch. Based on nothing.
Now you're speculating about "they could have launch the card month ago" also based on nothing.

It sure makes a lot of sense.
My last post on the subject, if you want to talk more about it, take it PM where I can be more open.
