<The current release date is Sep 27. This seems suspiciously like some one is trying to say "hey, we shipped it in 3rd quarter - per our promise" regardless of its marketability, production worthiness or intent to use.>

Reminds me of $.51 per share and $6.7B in revenue as being "within the Q2 guidelines". They have been spending the credibility capital lately accumulated over the last 20 years.

Chuckles - re: ". The current release date is Sep 27. This seems suspiciously like some one is trying to say "hey, we shipped it in 3rd quarter - per our promise" regardless of its marketability, production worthiness or intent to use."

Just like AMD "launched" the laughALON in late June - just so they could say they "shipped" it in the first half of 1999.

Of course, it is now August and no laughALON systems are yet available.

Charles - <Intel may be forced to support PIII longer than they want to because of the delayed CuMine introduction and also because they do not have a viable chipset for CuMine internally.>

Poppycock.
