Several AMD Fans on this board, prefer to think of that, as a sign that there's something wrong with P4. I have a different "opinion". I think, that Intel saw that the chipsets were not quite ready, and they had already missed Back To School, so...... Maybe..... Just Maybe..... intel decided to wait for the chipsets, It's usually wise to ship only CPU's for which there are chipsets available. and go back to it's old ways, of stockpiling microprocessor chips in the warehouse prior to launch. Could you please explain why Willy only has a shelf life of 6 months? What provoked the early successor with more pins? Is it part of the good old ways to leave a giant hole (1.1-1.2GHz in volumes) in the middle of the speed distribution? And was Willy was designed so well that its bin splits start bottom at 1.3GHz? Or is there another reason for not wanting to sell the chip at those speeds?
