"Quite likely, you say?"

Yup. I didn't say samples, but certainly test wafers are being run. And if packaged chips aren't out now, then they will be soon. They have been running SRAMs for a couple of months now. Remember this line from the CC? "We are very encouraged by the progress of this transition as evidenced by the continued great results in the fabrication of SRAMs as precursors to the conversion." As far as IDF, AMD has done that in the past. The Tbirds were shown in a motel room during the spring IDF last year.

And no, I don't expect them to accelerate their schedule as you propose, nor have I ever intimated it. Unlike Intel, AMD has been pretty careful in testing before release. Might be why they usually have a lot less "errata not bugs" in their processors. Sure, they have missed one or two, but they haven't had to recall processors either.

Great straw man arguments you used there, by the way...

That would be a historically unprecedented pull-in, you realize.

Err, it was the original date, remember.

It would be a historically unprecented pulling of the wool over Intel's eyes, though.

Neil.
