"WHEN YOURS TRULY learned of a new respin of the chip in early January, we learned that this respin was caused by the fact that the 80 nanometre chip was bleeding current like a slaughtered pig bleeds said quadruped heads to the Munchner Halle to be served up as a sausage.

However, we did not know then that AMD did not order just a respin, but the company got an attack of bravery, didn't take the R520/R580 route, and scrapped the R600 altogether."

so, looks like ATI are going to end up ahead of the game:

"This means that even though AMD is more than six months behind in terms of G80 vs. R600 battle, AMD actually now has six month levy over NV55, more known to people as ex-G81, currently known about G90 (or NV55 in halls of Satan Clara)."
