If the agenda Goto published recently is not completely bogus (and many things what we saw and see would fit into his picture), it would appear to me that iT has way to go for a launchable product.

Looking at the Nocoma announcement for Q2 from that viewpoint, it would look like nothing much more than a FUD shot.

I am inclined to this view of it - consequently I would be very surprised to see much more than samples of i32e this year.
Say, couple of thousand CPUs.
In case I will be proven wrong on it, I would be nothing less than astonished if the product would not be plagued by incompatibilies of any kinds, bugs, worms, louses, flee and the kind of problems you expect from launching a product which is simply not ready for the market. Let alone competitive performance - at least for the AMD64 part of it.

In case I will be proven wrong on that as well, I will gently lift my hat in Intels direction - before eating it. (I promise to post a picture of it here by year end, if it will happen.
