The recently presented by the new flagship singlechip accelerator AMD Radeon HD 7970 has a fairly high recommended cost, and therefore many expect the appearance of a cheaper Tahiti Pro (Radeon HD 7950) market on the market. But, according to Fudzilla resource, referring to its sources, this card will not appear in the retail by the expected time.
The planned launch date is still scheduled for January 9, however, AMD partners are reported that they will not have time to prepare enough by this time by this time. On this day, judging by rumors, it is more likely to expect a number of reviews of cards received by journalists directly from AMD.
Unfortunately, no accurate information regarding the delay is reported, but it seems to be expected to go out the accelerator closer to the Chinese New Year, that is, in February. More expensive Tahiti XT (Radeon HD 7970) cards should still be retreating on January 9.
