Not saying this isn't correct, once we see benchmarks we will know, but there is still the assumption that they can even produce the 1060 in decent numbers before Christmas.

It won't feature a further cut-down GP104 chip, it is a newer, deliberately smaller (fewer transistors), GP106. It has a narrower memory bus and fewer CUDA cores by design, not just by fusing off portions of the chip. Smaller chip = more chips per wafer = higher volume production.

I understand that, but that only indicates that supply would be increased relative to the 1070/1080 that are scarce as hell. It also means they have a separate process for creating the chips and we do not yet know they yield from that process.

Well they delivered on the performance promises of the 1080 and 1070, so it's perfectly reasonable to believe their claim that the 1060 is as powerful as a 980. If that's true, then the 480 is dead right out of the gate.
