PB re <<Also, Otellini said that he is utterly confident that whatever speed grade Intel releases, it will be in volume.>>

He lied. He was desperate to keep his "7XX MHz" word.

Re <<as I did not anticipate a situation where demand was such that the OEM's would be getting virtually all Coppermine shipments post launch.>>

What OEM demand???? All indication is that OEM's do not care for it. Do you remember the PIII launch, ALL OEM had a count down on their site and offered Numerious systems based on the new chip at the day of the launch. Even when the new speed grade of 600 MHz came out it was welcomed by large OEM's. They heavily advertised it on their site and it was available immediately in retail.

Coppermine is a flop launch, not due to OEM demand, due to Intel releasing a processor they can not built. Intel screwed up big time.
