Almost seems too easy here. "Polaris updates" doesn't mean launch, could be just another update about a future update.

Ding ding ding! AMD is confirming right here that they are launching a specific product (not Polaris, and unknown now if it's their typical paper launch, or a hard launch), and only providing more details on Polaris. This can range anywhere from an announcement (like Nvidia's event earlier this month to announce the launch date), to another Q&A with non-answers like yesterday.

I'm going to lower my expectations to reduce my disappointment. I really want AMD to release a great product. But right now, it's getting harder and harder for me to remain optimistic.
 
Release of Polaris has been scheduled for 2H of the year, before the start of the back-to-school season, for months now.
 
Told ya'll it was happening ;)
Although it's supposed to be more than just an update.. very intriguing. They may just drop the launch bomb and are saying 'update' to keep nvidia in the dark as long as possible. It's worked pretty well so far and fits with their PR efforts so far. They are using lack of info to hype it instead of major over-promising again like furyx/nvidia and under delivering.
 
I sorta understand the FE cards a bit more. Retail available boards for a bit more, then ramp supply and stock up for AIB boards and Oem supply around the time of Polaris.

Except that's not what's happening based on what Kyle has written. FE and AIB cards will be available together from day one. Kyle did a great writeup on what the FE cards are and why they exist.
