Semiconeng, I've been reading your posts for the past few days. Either you have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what you are talking about or you work for Intel and have inside info so you are playing dumb. Or more likely some 16 year old punk having a little fun. I especially liked your comments about Itanium. Taking Kash's word of how the EPIC architecture will perform, saying you're "process" so you don't understand. That's a complete joke. If you knew anything about "process", you would understand just how bad that outdated 1993 architecture really is and would be singing a different tune. chic

Semi, intel decided to wait for the chipsets, and go back to it's old ways, of stockpiling microprocessor chips in the warehouse prior to launch. Did anybody ever think of that one? So Intel has changed their policy in the last two weeks? It has only been a few days since Intel's last paper launch of the 1.1GHz PIII. Why should we expect Willy to be any different? Scumbria

Semiconeng, >I got news for ya, Willamette is still on track, despite what Solomon Smith Barney Financial Analyst says. Intel Solomon Smith Barney might as well swing and miss for strike three on that one. They predicted Compaq would miss revenue forecasts the analysts had for them. Wrongo, strike one. SSB said the semiconductor boom was nearly over. Strike two, as seen by the vast majority of the other analysts. Now they're predicting this one? If the previous two are any indication, it's a Randy Johnson fastball, on the black, low outside corner. Tony

I have a different "opinion". I think, that Intel saw that the chipsets were not quite ready, and they had already missed Back To School, so...... Maybe..... Just Maybe..... intel decided to wait for the chipsets, and go back to it's old ways, of stockpiling microprocessor chips in the warehouse prior to launch. Did anybody ever think of that one? So Willy was targeted at schoolkids? Now that is news to me!

Re: I think, that Intel saw that the chipsets were not quite ready, and they had already missed Back To School, so...... Maybe..... Just Maybe..... intel decided to wait Good point, Intel has demonstrated over and over again this year its willingness to ship buggy chipsets and motherboards. There must be a different reason. :-) Dan

Several AMD Fans on this board, prefer to think of that, as a sign that there's something wrong with P4. I have a different "opinion". I think, that Intel saw that the chipsets were not quite ready, and they had already missed Back To School, so...... Maybe..... Just Maybe..... intel decided to wait for the chipsets, It's usually wise to ship only CPU's for which there are chipsets available. and go back to it's old ways, of stockpiling microprocessor chips in the warehouse prior to launch. Could you please explain why Willy only has a shelf life of 6 months? What provoked the early successor with more pins? Is it part of the good old ways to leave a giant hole (1.1-1.2GHz in volumes) in the middle of the speed distribution? And was Willy was designed so well that its bin splits start bottom at 1.3GHz? Or is there another reason for not wanting to sell the chip at those speeds?
