Charles - <Could you tell me a little bit more about other options? I am all ears.>
No, I can't. Just put yourself in Intel's shoes, and try to come up with some options. That's all I'm going to say.
Also, the Coppermine release slip was announced 3.5 months from when it was supposed to occur. This isn't a lot of time, but with some focused effort, good execution, and maybe even a little luck, on multiple fronts, there could be some upside to this, a wash, or, at least, minimal downside.
Of course, the alternative is unfocused chickens with our heads cut off, lousy execution, and bad luck, on all fronts. I'm personally hoping for a variant of the former.
All we can do is attempt to execute to a plan. We can't predict the future.
