According to the roadmap the 1.7 was coming in January? (or was it Q1?) Either way, it's coming pretty fast, so maybe they just want to release with some head room. Why beat AMD by 500mhz when 200 mhz will do fine. I bet AMD could have launched a 700mhz athlon when it first came out, but they didn't.
