The register has a note on Intel and the Camino: <<< When you wish upon a chipset A quick trawl shows Intel isn't reacting very fast to the Camino cockup... For obvious reasons, this story has a limited shelf life, so check out the links while you can Never let it be said Chipzilla doesn't look on the bright side, or at the very least bury its head in the sand. Obviously stunned into inactivity by the failure of Camino to appear on time (again), Intel's web sites still wear the rose-tinted spectacles of the hopelessly-optimistic.
