Tony - RE: "$117 billion shortfall! That's bigger than GE's yearly revenue."
Even AMD looks good compared to that. ;)
"Still, I guess they'll [Gateway] be sidling up with AMD now, huh?"
All signs short of an official press release point to yes. Hopefully we'll get one to ring in the new year.
"If the handful were Dell, Compaq, HP and Gateway, e.g., I certainly see nothing wrong with that."
Dell is saying delivery will be in January for 733s, HP has only one Cumine in retail (but it IS 733), and Compaq has ZERO retail Cumine computers, only build to order.
What makes you think Intel can pull 750s and THEN 800s out of their hat if 733s seem to be scarce?
Lets see how long it takes these processors to get on the webpage the other guys like to use - The Chip Merchant. They don't even have 700s and 733 listed yet, and it has been 53 days since their launch, per Petz's calculations.
And Pricewatch will be another good indication of how well this launch stacks up to Intel's previous launches.
"I'd be glad to roll it back out, or PM it to you."
I don't read this thread as much so I may have missed it. I'd like to read it though. |
