How do you figure? AMD said they were in Production in early March. You are well aware that production may take 12 weeks. Hence June availability of production parts. The sample parts they are providing now were hopefully part of a special run to produce samples and are not fully production parts. Hence there is not any deception if this is the reality.

Elmer, Did you see that announcement this morning that HP is shipping an IA-64 platform. The only problem I could see with it was that it didn't have an IA-64 microprocessor to go with it. As part of Intel's ongoing campaign of veracity, we have now seen them publicize IA-64 platforms that don't exist, 1GHz processors that don't exist, 800 MHz server processors that don't exist, 0.18u processors that don't exist, and next-generation IA-32 processors that don't exist. Please don't accuse AMD of fibbing over a killer product which is shipping by summer. BTW: It appears that Intel's investors are starting to wake up. Scumbria
