Scumbria,

<AMD may well be manufacturing 1.5GHz samples, in 0.13u process. These will probably not be ready for production for another 6 months.>

This is my understanding too (except that it is more like 0.15). That's why I was talking about at least 3 or 4 months.

However, the grapevine on 1.2G was on the current process. The only logical reason to not introduce a new speed grade or two would be if someone big signed off on some corporate SKUs (in which case new speedbins at the current level of production may not be sufficient for a launch). But, I didn't see any business SKUs being announced, let alone high volume ones. There is something that doesn't addup and there are no leaks so far from the marketing side.
