[VC] AMD Radeon HD 9000 Series Launching in October?

This would mean either they have a near perfect design for the process or they have built in more redundancy to negate the effects of the new process.

Or they could pull an Nvidia and have a few CUs disabled, enable them later on when yields improve and launch a refresh.

Still finding it pretty hard to believe that the 20nm rumor is getting so much traction. I still find it highly unlikely but not impossible.

Well, thanks to that Power Color rep there's actually some evidence for 20nm now besides just wishful thinking. Still seems incredible though.

FYI- There was always a new product launch planned for 2H '13... Some people just didn't want to listen, looking at you Sky.

Can you elaborate? The entire 'stable through 2013' thing seemed pretty cut and dry to me.
