Ulrich, no recall, just suspending shipments of boxed processors of the Xeon types below until there are mobos available.
As previously indicated, Intel has decided to temporarily suspend shipments of Boxed Intel© Pentium© lll Xeon? processors 933, 866, 800, 733, 667, 600 MHz with 256k on-die L2 cache (prior code name: Cascades) to Intel Authorized Distributors. This notice does not impact shipments of Boxed Intel Pentium lll Xeon processors 550 MHz with 512k, 1M or 2M L2 cache or any other Intel Boxed Processors. This suspension is in response to delays in the availability of motherboards that support these processors in the distribution channel. Intel is working with board manufacturers to assist them in getting their designs to market as soon as possible. Intel plans to resume shipments of these boxed processors when board designs that support these processors are available in the distribution channel. Please contact your Intel Authorized Distributor if you have demand for these products requiring support. Customers who have inventory of these processors and would like to arrange for returns, should contact their place of purchase.
I agree about Rambus, as I said, IMO, the jury is out on that technology in my last post. |
