September still sounds good. No question that Digitimes pronouncements are doubtful.

Maybe they are just copying one of theinq's favorite
news story generation techniques. First they invent
a story that Intel will bring in the schedule of some
product with a long standing roadmap. When this
doesn't happen of course they then claim the product
has "slipped".

Voila! Two bogus stories for the effort of one.

BTW, a related technique is exploitation of ambiguity.
If an Intel product is slated for "2H" of a year then if it
doesn't ship in July then it becomes officially late by
gossip site standards. If it hasn't shipped by October
then it has slipped by more than a quarter. ;-)
