Anyone else curious if they will enable more SIMD units per core on this model?
It was delayed, which bodes well for that happening if it can. They had no real strategic reason to delay it with 570/580 arguably similar and better performing solutions. I seriously doubt they're waiting for GTX560. Yields are obviously part of the scenario, yields of what are the question.
IMHO they need to release something that will compete with a 'gtx560x2' at GTX460 speeds (~675mhz). Given the TDP of even a card such a 6950, and the cap of 300W, they would be best off enabling as many units as possible because (stock) clock speed is going to be fairly low.
