Hi all; Wasn't P4 supposed to ship late November? SharkyExtreme is now saying early December:

Intel Pentium 4 and Timna Insider Info
The Pentium 4 (see our preview right here) is now targeted to launch in week 48 of this year. If our math is correct, that should put the launch around the end of November or beginning of December. This is a bit later than we previously expected, but we now know why the product will be delayed.
...
We have seen Intel's Fulsom lab where the Pentium 4 chipset is being validated and have confidence that Intel will be able to fix what sounds like a minor problem.
...
The problems come when a major issue sneaks through validation, such as the noise problems three RIMM RDRAM solutions ran into when Intel initially launched their i820 chipset or the MTH issue Intel ran into, also related to RDRAM. If Intel runs into a major issue with the Pentium 4 or the i850 chipset after launch, then it is time to talk about Intel being in trouble.
...
I do want to make something perfectly clear though. In Intel's defense, Timna is great technology, just as RDRAM is.
