Canterwood "Problem" Really A Marketing Issue?

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=8971
So exactly what is the nature of the "glitch" that stopped Intel shipping the products? No one has a clue nor an earthly, but we have a good idea it's more to do with marchitecture than architecture.

Every single reviewer of the combo here at the INQUIRER peered and peered to try and unearth the glitch but it was in the words of the sage, "nowhere found".

The marchitectural glitch isn't hard to unearth, given our own skills in marchitecture.

There's an inexplicable erratum in the jumper setting of prices. Intel forgot to tell everybody there would be prices and that [bthe 3GHz Canterwoodgate ready processor was cheaper than the 3.06GHz current Pentium 4 without 800MHz front side bus.

The 3GHz chip - the flagchip so to speak - cost less than the 3.06GHz. What a screwup.



--- So tell me, has ANYBODY been able to find an article where this "alleged" glitch has been uncovered by testing?
