And it looks like this new rumor has simply confirmed this launch window, as solely the AD107 chip stays in manufacturing whereas all different chips together with AD102, 103, 104, and 106 have been killed by Nvidia to shift manufacturing to the next-gen GPUs.

The transition is accelerating, and AIC (Add-in Card) model companions will face lowering availability available in the market.

Then once more, all of this data can solely be thought-about rumors till we get some stable affirmation.
