I wonder what point Intel knew the Larrabee, Tukwila, and Tejas schedules were a sham and how long the public was kept in the dark about the (lack of) progress on these projects. No doubt about it, those were slips, especially Tejas which was the mainstream product. However, interspersed were many products released on or ahead of schedule, so there was clearly no established pattern of intentionally misrepresenting schedules. Let us keep in mind that OEMs are not as gullible as the Faithful. While AMD was singing the praises of Barcelona and claiming the highest performance on the planet, the OEMs knew better. They had late, hot, slow, bug ridden samples which were anything but what AMD claimed. They also had Core samples from Intel. What kind of an impression do you think that left with them? AMD was publicly claiming one thing and the OEMs knew something entirely different. What do you suppose they're thinking now about BullDozer?
