You think you pooped a little?  I can't wait to see the faces of the Windows Update system administrators when the service pack goes gold and they have to support a million downloads at 500MB each in the first week alone.

Intel to delay launch of three 45nm quad-core CPUs on poor AMD performance
Monica Chen, Taipei; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Wednesday 19 December 2007]

Intel has recently adjusted its product strategy and will postpone three 45nm quad-core CPUs that were originally scheduled to launch in January next year, according to sources at motherboard makers.

Intel has already notified its partners that it will push back the launch of the three CPUs to February or March next year, depending on AMD's schedule for triple-core and the upcoming Phenom CPUs.

Launching the CPUs now will not benefit Intel much in its battle with AMD, while they could cause damage to Intel's 65nm quad-core CPUs, therefore the company has decided it is in no rush to release new products until AMD is able to present more of a threat.

The three CPUs that Intel plans to delay are the Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550, added the sources.

Intel commented that its launch of 45nm quad-core CPUs for desktops is on track for first quarter 2008, but declined to disclose a specific time-frame.


Good job, AMD!  Thanks for dropping the ball!

AMD is so far behind the curve right now that Intel can not only delay their new products but jack up the prices on their existing products like crazy.  Have any of you priced out a QX9650 lately?  Holy mother of cheesecake...
