WBMW, here's another indication that the schedule may indeed slip. Thanks to Pravin on the Mod thread:

----------------------------------

Okay. Let's get the FUD out of the way on this whole K8 thing.

Now - samples with vendors with limited clocks. Enough to get boards built and tested.

Next month - second sample set.

August - samples that will give an indication of actual performance. Yup, probably getting close to, or reaching, production yields.

October/ December - shipment of first batch of product (could be the 10,000 units we talked about earlier). It all depends on who you talk to. Can it be that in the space of two days, AMD has changed shipping dates by moving it up from January, to December, to October, and now, to August (check out this news story)?


----------------------------------

Notice how compressed this schedule looks. It's already five months since first tapeout, and the OEMs still don't have anything faster than 800 MHz. Now AMD hopes to get production samples by August, then launch in October or December?

It's not going to happen. Mike Magee's article seems very credible to me.
