Re: AMD is quite capable of making such a chipset as they are far less complex than CPUs.

True enough. However, it takes time to do a new chipset and new motherboards and to put the whole shebang through system tests. I do not believe it can be done in 3 months.
6 months would be pushing it.

As INTC experience with the 820 board indicates these new platforms have to go through a full test cycle including configuration testing.

It looks like AMD is already in trouble on this new product.
Meanwhile, Willy is breathing down AMD back.
