AMD Radeon HD 6970 delay due to component shortage

@ 2010/11/12
Partners not getting their AMD Radeon HD 6970 boards in time has led many to speculate AMD is indeed facing yield issues with its upcoming flagship GPU. However, an insider has shared a contradicting piece of news: the card's delay is not due to yield issues - production is perfectly fine, but rather a shortage of a particular component from Texas Instruments (TI) is the root cause of the hold-up.

I like how the stories about 69** go: first confirmed launch date, then delayed, then again confirmed, delayed again
