" Athlon64 delayed until Christmas?" is not at the top of the linked page. I can only assume these are your words. Why shouldn't we assume you intended to spread FUD?
You're going to believe whatever you want to believe. I was and still am under the clear impression that Athlon64 would appear in retail volume at the Sept release. The article suggested Athlon64 wouldn't appear in retail until much later. You may not consider that a slip if you didn't expect it to appear in Sept in the first place. I did and still do. To not expect it in volume in Sept leaves us with the inescapable conclusion that it is not in production today, which means the problems haven't yet been solved and the Sept intro is just a prayer. Looks like I'm the only optimistic one here and the rest of you don't think it's fixed yet.
