Re: Could be they wanted to do some validation and testing before they committed to doing more. It is just a packaging exercise any way.
Limited validation? On just four parts? Correction: just two parts, since the other two were in the demo and not in the validation lab. And what would be the point of that? Intel wants to get this part out by Q1 2007, and you think they will only make enough parts to populate a single system for validation purposes? I'm truly amazed that you are willing to justify reasons to believe the CNET number. It requires you to completely turn off the logic processes in your brain.
