Surely by keeping information back until that point...



Agree that AMD might do better to let people know what they've got coming. However, it would be a "paper launch" for sure -- some folks don't like that.

On the other hand, an article today suggests (to me) Nvidia rushed a few cards out the door to get publicity -- but, they were not ready for a full launch either.

Geforce GTX 1080 supplies may be scarce until mid June


Apparently, only a few Nvidia 1080 actually made it to "sale".

Future shipments will be delayed, it is reported/rumored. The speculation implies (to me) roughly June 20 for initial availability -- if one did not get one of the first few released.

We'll see if AMD RX480 is on the market June 29 -- or if, it too is a "semi-paper" or "full-paper" launch.
