Interestingly it looks like Polaris might be delayed into October, they are having production issues, *if* Nintendo is using Polaris-derived tech, perhaps that contributed to the delay of the NX? Kimishima said software was only one of the reasons NX was launching in March, not the only reason.

This rumour makes no sense. I mean, if nVidia is ready to release GTX 1070 and 1080 in June (though I totally expect it to be a paper launch with cards being virtually impossible to get), AMD will have a much easier job releasing Polaris 10 and 11. These AMD GPUs have smaller dies, thus they get more GPUs out of a single wafer and imperfect production process, which is characteristic for young tech, will hurt them less than it hurts nVidia. AMD should be able to produce more cards in the same time and for the same price, which I think was the wise choice. AMD did the right thing, while nVidia went for PR fireworks - as usual. I hope it pays for AMD

Moreover, right now the rumours are that AMD moved Vega to October, so they are actually speeding things up. Delaying Polaris to October? No way!
