Intel Corp (INTC)

Can you point to any reports of data corruption involving the 3.0 GHz P4? Once
again you demonstrate your fleeting acquaintance with the truth.

All we know is that Intel halted shipments. There are a variety of reasons that
this may have been done. But at this late stage of the game it is IMO most likely
because the ATE guard band on some minor data sheet spec had been set too
aggressively and some samples showed up that failed this spec for one of the
operating condition corner cases.

If so then the delay should only be a few weeks to rescreen parts. If this is
not the case then we can expect the delay to be much longer. All we can do
is wait and see.
