Yougang,

The 820 delay wont' SERIOUSLY affect the roll out of Coppermine. However, many coppermine parts will be sold on VIA chipsets now. Not sure how good/bad this is. In addition, getting replacement boards will likely take a little time. Intel will also likely have some *small* (couple million $'s) financial liability over faulty chipsets.

So I look for no formal delay in the announcement of the coppermine CPUs. But I don't expect to see the 133Mhz FSB ones for sale (at least any I would even think about buying i.e. not 820 based) for at least 1 month.

The timing of this and the earthquake in TW is going to slow the rebuilding of replacement boards.

Regards,

Steve
