Intel's process is their pride and joy and the envy of the industry, always has been. They would never, ever blame it for a delay unless it was and I'm 100% sure that every single Intel fanboy here would agree with that statement.
Original C2D Pentium Line... - Delayed 3 months to tweak yield process.
C2D 6X50 Series.. - Delayed to fix Trusted Computing
Q9000 Yorkfield Series.. was originally delayed due to Bad Stepping
(then intel gave u guys the ever so infamous E0 Stepping.)
Bloomfield - Bad launch... had to do stepping revision 3 months after intial launch which pissed everyone off cuz new stepping dominated overclocking world.
(intel promised not to do this again.... and so far its the only promise they have still kept...)
(intel said they wouldnt make us change boards... however that is BS... )
Gulftown - Delayed 3 weeks due to failure in A0 stepping in terms of reliability + durability.
I remember the last 2, cuz my NDA's were extended... and i remember the forum raging on gulftown cuz i couldnt post any results due to the NDA extension.
and it pissed everyone off i had to Black out everything... like this..
However every delay from intel has sort of been worth it for our end.
Do you really want another bloomfield repeat? i for sure dont...
So what are u talking about no delays for intel?
Intel is also full of delays.... if intel kept on there original roadmap... we should have Haswell-E.
