I remember saying "I could do it, I just don't WANT to," too.

Way back in gradeschool.

lol.

In Intel's case here, it is probably true that they could do it, but it would mean a 9-12 month delay in product release to do another revision of the chip they hadn't planned upfront. In a year 4Ghz isn't going to cut it on the top end, so they probably decided not to bother. Of course they probably realized the current chip revision's shortcomings 3 or 4 months ago, so they could have already been well into another revision by now to fix the problems. They really dropped the ball here, and I think the impact on AMD is going to be very significant. AMD should be able to grow their high-end marketshare very quickly which is where all the $$$ is at.
