AMD's partners were instructed to release reference cards for the first few weeks, with AMD actually controlling sampling of the product. And with the reference embargo now lifted, partners are now free to market their own in-house designed models, so we expect to see a bunch of cards with different coolers and getting rid of that annoying fan on the reference card, and with pre-overclocked core and memory speeds to boot.
