Seriously, I can't see ATI pulling another "Phantom Edition", with availability 8 months after the launch. If they can't deliever X1800XT's to us this time..well, the 7800's are right there.
Btw, this time I believe NVIDIA has most of the OEM contracts, so it should be raining R520's.

Raining? I don't see any clouds on my sky

I was wondering roughly what the window timeframe was for hitting the OEM refreshes for spring and fall? That said, it's pretty safe to say ATI has missed the fall refresh so hopefully availability is there.
With the huge price difference between the XL and the XT, I'm assuming the XT will be a limited product. In addition, there seems to be only about a 10% difference in performance between the two of them. IMO, the XL would cannabalize the XT sales. ATI would only be willing to do that IF they were not worried about high volumes of XTs selling. The XT will be there for bragging rights, while the XL and Pro will probably be the real competition with Nvidia. Honestly, I'd get rid of the XL if I was ATI and focus on the Pro and XT.
Also, why are they going to "flood" the market with high end skus. Seems weird.

When will it end?
There are referencing to Inq.Skinner said:
Is this confusion because ATI is releasing (confusing) promo material to board partners on how the new pipelines work ? :|
kilmas over at rage3d found this:

probably nothing related to r5xx though

If memory serves me right its something like may-june. There was a press release or something like that saying NV had won X number of OEM orders, and it was right around that time frame. So Im guessing thats their deadline for fall (christmas/school opening) refreshes.John Reynolds said:

Yea very well could play out like that which is a good thing for us consumers. But what if that extra memory made a difference? We have seen Wavey's 800xl 512 vrs 256 mb in HL2 under very high settings where it the extra memory helps. So when know for a fact it will help HL2 prefromance. If other new games (FEAR, UT2007, ect) start to show something simular then it would help "warrent" the extra cost. Of course that is a lot of "if"s
Hmmm... Nothing to explain the "3" for RV530.
I'm beginning to wonder about the credibility of those numbers.
Dave's comments from my memory:
1) the "3" relates to "texturing capabilities" (still hold to this Dave?)
2) Dave questions how to reconcile "4-1-3-2" with "12-pipelines", with following comments suggesting "it's not really 12 pipelines"; but Dave replies with "pipelines with the modern/evolved definition" to paraphrase (probably inaccurately).
Eh, I give up.

Is this the utter disaster of an explanation that I think it is?
