Chuck, <By your definition of how things should be checked Intel is probably on target or may be ahead of schedule. Congratulations! I am glad all those super human efforts at Intel are paying off.>

Hah hah. It's nice to see that you are adding patronizing remarks to all of your so-called inside information regarding Intel's confidential projects, roadmaps, and schedules.

The schedules I'm talking about are the schedules that Intel publicly commits to, because the internal schedules are not open to public discussion. Yet I've seen you decide that those internal schedules should indeed be visible to the AMD thread, which is full of people who will take such info in the most negative way possible. Thankfully, most of your "inside info" is off-the-mark, which puts your credibility at a level just above the YUK Register.

Anyway, I don't know how you ever came to a conclusion that Willamette should have been released by now or even a year ago. That's ludicrous, at least from my point-of-view. Maybe market conditions dictated that Willamette should have been started a lot earlier than it has been, but then again, Coppermine seems to be competing very well for the time being, and so will Cascades Xeon in the near future.

And in the end, all this chest-thumping about schedules isn't going to mean squat, as long as the product meets or exceeds the markets expectations at the time of its release. Think Willamette won't?
