Socket M2 delay?

Our initial roadmaps claimed MCP55 would show up right around Cebit 2006, which made sense considering we had also heard Socket M2 would launch then. However, these newest NVIDIA roadmaps claim that MCP55 won't show up on motherboards until late Q2'06; right in the June/July timeframe. Unless AMD is planning to launch Socket M2 on a VIA chipset exclusively for three months (I'll give you a hint, they won't) don't expect AMD DDR2 processors to launch at Cebit anymore.

EDIT: Think it's bull, since MCP is a southbridge.
