RE: "And now even the marketing guys at Intel feel compelled to make AMD-style "phantom releases.""

Hi Tenchusatsu,

Well, maybe if engineering brings in their dates by 2 months, it wouldn't be phantom. There are two ways to look at this. From the outside looking in, it appears Marketing used a very big chip (no pun intended) and put the pressure on the channel in order to respond to competitive pressures. Maybe next time, the pressure needs to be on the inside, not the outside channel (did you read the angry post from an Intel customer who couldn't find product?)
