Elmer, Pete, let's give it a rest for now. If Tom's defective 1.13 GHz Pentium III is a sign of things to come from Intel, we'll hear about it soon enough. Customers will return the 1.13 GHz machines, OEM's will discover that some of Intel's CPUs are DOA, and Intel will once again suffer yet another embarrassment due to bad execution.

Personally, I think Tom just got unlucky, and now he's simply venting. That's pretty unfortunate considering that he didn't have such a high opinion of Intel before he received the CPU. It's also unfortunate because Tom has a lot of influence over hundreds of thousands of PC enthusiasts. It's a good thing Intel PR is dealing with the situation appropriately, even though Tom could back off on his bias. (Journalists who demonstrate real professionalism don't resort to calling Intel "Satan Clara," no matter what the circumstances.)
