Re: That's a fast ramp. Whatever happened to Dempsey? What's the point of even launching that? Woodcrest is way better.

I'm guessing the only point was that the infrastructure was there, the work had already been done, and launching Dempsey meant that Intel could stop the server market share loss a month in advance of Woodcrest. Of course, originally, it was going to be a much larger delta, but since Dempsey got pushed out from its original Q1 date and Woodcrest got pulled in from its original Q3 date, the time in between shrunk.
