Yougang, <Can someone on this thread layout a convincing case that Camino deley will CERTAINLY cause Coppermine launch delay?> Camino delay will probably not affect CuMine launch. I would be surprised if that happens. Camino's were supposed to be just a tiny fraction of this quarters build (Ashok Kumar said 5%). Because of the problems with RDRAM, most OEMS are going with 810 or BX or VIA platforms. Let's see. Chuck

Re: "Can someone on this thread layout a convincing case that Camino deley will CERTAINLY cause Coppermine launch delay? " If the existing CuMines are buslocked @5.5 for 133MHz FSB 733.33MHz, running them on a 100MHz FSB BX would make them 550MHz CuMines and really drop the ASPs. EP

Yougang Xiao, RE:"whether the Delay of Camino/820 chip means the delay of Coppermine launch scheduled in October?" Does this help any? hardocp.com September 23, about 639am scroll down is a picture of a coppermine using an 810 chipset? "That is your new Coppermine in a socket 370 PPGA form running on a i810E Chipset board. " ?? steve

Yougang, The 820 delay wont' SERIOUSLY affect the roll out of Coppermine. However, many coppermine parts will be sold on VIA chipsets now. Not sure how good/bad this is. In addition, getting replacement boards will likely take a little time. Intel will also likely have some small (couple million $'s) financial liability over faulty chipsets. So I look for no formal delay in the announcement of the coppermine CPUs. But I don't expect to see the 133Mhz FSB ones for sale (at least any I would even think about buying i.e. not 820 based) for at least 1 month. The timing of this and the earthquake in TW is going to slow the rebuilding of replacement boards. Regards, Steve
