Re: "The mere fact that they feel the need to make such an announcement of an announcement of a limited release so that "it will be set in stone" shows just how little they can afford a credibility hit. That is why it may seem bold on the surface but in reality it seems very short sighted and panicked. I prefer the calm confidence, (or is it silent determination?) of AMD!"

Consider the alternative. Suppose Intel planned their release for July 31 and said nothing. Leaks would let the word out, AMD would announce their 1.1GHz Athlon/TBird a couple of days earlier and Intel would look like they are reacting to AMD again. Now whatever AMD does it looks like they are reacting to Intel. It's just a perception thing but better than the alternative.
