Another quote from Tom's 1133 review:

While the normal users out there might not know about this, people in the hardware reviewing scene are well aware of the fact that AMD has shipped their 1.1 GHz Thunderbird samples to publications already weeks ago, while Intel was just able to get the rare samples of the Pentium III 1.133 GHz to the reviewers in the second half of last week.

With Intel weeks ago telegraphing their intention to launch today, AMD could have countered by launching last week, or two weeks ago, if they wanted to continue the brinksmanship. I'm glad that they've decided to be more methodical, and I'm sure the OEMs are too.
