This is essential true. The key will then become the scalability and MHZ race...
Which do you think will scale better, the Athlon or the Cop-a-feel?

Sure, it will be great for Intel if they can get it out by November, but at what MHz?

Who knows, it may only be 600MHz initially, with 650 and 666 coming in Jan.

MHz-wise, that is how it was originally supposed to come out. Now that it has been DELAYED until November, 600MHz may be the only part that comes out this year because that was the one which was supposed to come out first. Unless Intel fixed it a great deal and "tweaked" the .18 process a lot, that is what I expect to happen.
