Intel spin doctors have taken over the asylum theregister.co.uk On the issue of the slippery and maybe still slipping P4 launch, the Register has a bit of a weekend update. Craig 'Five Speeches' Barrett has been at it again. Speaking to hacks in Taipei on Friday, he claimed that Pentium 4 was launching ahead of schedule. According to Barrett, P4 was originally scheduled for launch "at the end of the year". Craig, please read your own company's roadmaps. Willamette/P4 was originally to appear in 2H 2000. This was then refined to Q3 2000. Later still, October 30th was earmarked, finally slipping to November 20th to allow a graphics glitch with the Tehama chipset to be rectified. . . . For Intel to now claim that year-end was the target all along shows either that Intel believes world+dog are complete imbeciles, or that Chipzilla's monstro PR machine has now taken over and is operating Barrett by remote control. Well, the Intel/imbecile association is hard to avoid after you've read the Athwipe guy and random other Intel employees on SI for awhile, but it cuts both ways, as they say. Cheers, Dan.
