The report basically says AMD is running into yield problems with the RadeonHD 6000 chips and that there are not sufficient quantities for an October launch. There might be some truth to this since RadeonHD 6000 was already supposed to be on the store shelfs by the end of September.
The report does repeat what I stated I expected, AMD will skip the middle range RadeonHD 67xx series and the lower 65xx and 63xx cards for the time being and just work on supplying the high-end RadeonHD 68xx series cards.
Other reports suggest that AMD actually does have enough quantity for a launch, but is holding off as long as they can to keep the current line-up of 5x00 series cards due to the lack of any competition in the market.
(and yes, at their performance per watt per price the 470 and 480 aren't competition, and the 460 isn't competition unless you run it in SLI.)
No idea if this story is accurate:
