There are many rumours of delays surrounding the 28nm fab but AMD may still make a 2011 launch of their 7000 series GPUS.

It had been observed that a 2011 launch for 28nm products may have been highly unlikely even though AMD had vowed to release their new 7000 series Radeon GPUs this year but recently sources have given information to Heise.de that AMD aim to launch their first line of 28nm GPUs in the second week of December.
