AMD Radeon 7990 Delayed

AMD’s Radeon 7990, which was supposed to be launched at Computex according to information obtained by Hardware Canucks, has been apparently delayed again and pushed back until August according to a report by VR-Zone.
 the reason for the delay is a shortage of PEX8747 PCI-e bridge chips manufactured by PLX – which are an essential component every dual-GPU card including NVIDIA’s GTX 690.
While the PCI-e bridge shortage is certainly a plausible scenario, the delay could not be caused by part shortages but rather a decision by AMD to strategically keep the card out of channel to better position it against the competition. NVIDIA is likely planning an August launch for its GTX 660TI and the GTS 650.by sam reynolds
