No Desktop Palomino Until July? (AMD)

Thanks to ChrisK and njoobee for posting about this story from the German magazine c't reporting on the impending introduction of AMD's Palomino, or lack thereof. According to c't, Palomino is only sampling just now, with production not expected until July. Morgan is on the same timeline as well, with the 0.13-micron versions slated for production in January 2002 for Thoroughbred and March 2002 for Appaloosa (which sounds a bit like the old schedule for Palomino/Morgan, minus a year).
The magazine's roadmap indicates that Palomino will be introduced at 1.4 GHz, with Morgan debuting at 950 MHz. This is later than what AMD stated during the Q4 conference call, which indicated a Palomino introduction late in the first quarter, with parts at 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz by Q2. c't's roadmap also points to a Clawhammer introduction late in the first half of 2002, though no specific dates are given.
Finally, the 1.3 GHz Athlon is said to be a Thunderbird. It is still very likely that we will see this chip at CeBit, but what about the rest? Will we have to wait until July for Palomino? Will we still see a Mobile Palomino on March 19th? We'll find out soon enough...
