RE:"No!! But the high degree of functionality of the thing so far strongly suggests that a typical launch in time for the holiday season is entirely possible and probable. There is more time for this to occur than vs. the Cumine situation."...

But Cumine was the same old core, something Intel was familiar with...
The Willy is a completely new core, chipset etc.
Also, I see the Willys big die will debut on .18u. It will be big...
Intel is clearly scramblin' to bring this thing to market ASAP.
Losing HHz and FPU superiority sure was a wake up call! Whew...
pressure on Intel engineers, I hope they don't make a fatal mistake in their haste.
