[Elmer Phud]

Paul -

Don't be absurd, Elmer; you know very well the difference between availability of a CPU and availability of an OEM system based on said CPU. Besides, this is Tom's talking - not exactly the most accurate source when it comes to this sort of prediction.

I am very aware that it is Tom talking, I'm the one who posted the article. As for being absurd let me tell you this. If they were planning on July shipments for Sept retail intros then they are operating on a prayer. They are still 4 months from production which means they don't have a manufacturable stepping today. That's horrible.

If AMD is still 6 months away from the beginning of shipments to oems then they haven't even taped out their production silicon, which means they don't have a clue if they can meet this latest pushed out schedule. You better hope they plan Sept retail availability because otherwise you are the one being absurd.
