760MP Delayed until mid-2001? According to the article (translated link below), AMD is waiting for support from OEMs. Why won't they let us play with it?

Thus AMD seems to take the doubts seriously, which arose also on the Microprocessor forum. In the server and workstation area rather the reliability of a system counts as the speed or the cost-performance ratio. Until center next yearly wants to have found and of the reliability of the 760MP including GDR memory have convinced strong partners within this area to AMD.
