If ATI is not going to sell it, but have other "partners" do it, I have a problem with that. It's not like they don't sell their own brand products. I also agree with you that if ATI is going to have others sell their 650, they really do not have a real say in when it will be available for sale. So far, none of their "partner" are announcing it anywhere on their websites. Here's a question...if the card was "tested", given to various groups to review, then whose card was furnished to them? Was it a "partner's card", or was it ATI. If ATI, then why not just manufacture them for sale? This is become like another "WMD search".
