Dang! Something lit a fire under CRAY today....

June 1 looks like an unveiling of 65nm chips. MFG sample demo at least. We can still hope for an engineering sample of QC. Did I read an earlier post [1] correct that QC K8L is sooner than DC K8L? Seems unlikely unless they are swinging for the fence.

Rev G was no longer expected to be K8L but some expected quad core toward the end of this year

The good news is that December launch will be moved up, that's my guess, we'll find out tomorrow. Looks like they will confirm that Fab 36 has begun production starts at 65nm.

The good news is? Looks like?

Is this all your guess, because quite recent roadmaps say December for first 65nm shipments, moved up from Jan07 for same, per DailyTech and Goto.

If Fab36 has begun starts of *production* parts, they should be shipping in September, not December, as they just told OEMs.

My guess is they try to BS it and say "on schedule for production shipments in H206", and not narrow to Q4, or December.
