They've been showing the engineering prototype working since when, December? At least January she showed up. Also with good performance numbers in my opinion. It isn't going to beat Nvidia anyway so why delay it? Unless they are having major issues, they need to push that card out asap.
There are rumors that it's been pushed to Q1 2018.

With its current price point and performance, the 580 basically makes the GTX1060 and GTX1070 pointless. Guess the mid range crown goes to AMD, which will be a big win for them.
Nvidia still has the high end crown with Vega coming, who knows how long that will last. It might force Nvidia to bring out Volta sooner than they'd like.

How is it pointless? Why is everyone saying things are "obsolete" and "pointless" when they are slightly behind? Techpowerup (i would use guru3d but tpu has that performance summary) benched 22 titles and a FE 1060 is only 5% behind a factory overclocked Nitro+ RX580 (1450Mhz). The 1060 uses a peak of 125w while the Nitro uses 240w.
And even if it was more, say 10-15% how does that suddenly make something pointless? What are the price differences between the two? What other features are Nvidia/AMD adding to their cards (my complaint isn't limited to just one company or the other). What games are being offered with the cards? What power usage are both cards?
Don't get me wrong - 580 and honestly moreso the 570 are great cards. I just don't get why everything has to be so absolute.
