< I believe the balance of the information contained in the article is extremely positive for Intel, and the box makers.>

Hm, I am still pondering over the possible reasoning behind your statement.

It is clear that Intel is combining the qualification of the laptop Coppermine and the desktop Coppermine. So the design verification job is halved and so that is a positive for Intel. The reliability qualifiction will be separate anyway, since the laptop and desktop versions use different package configurations, so there is no saved time or effort.

So why is it positive for the boxmakers ? Maybe since the new design is faster, will faster laptop Coppermines be available sooner than expected ? Or since the Coppermine problems are fixed sooner than expected , will the desktop version be available sooner than the November date ?
