Flaw Delays Shipment Of New 'Canterwood' Pentium 4
bigal3du writes "Hardware-Unlimited has posted new information from Intel that they will be delaying the shipment of the new Pentium 4 3Ghz with an 800Mhz FSB. An Intel spokesman contacted Hardware-Unlimited early this morning to let the publication know that performance "anomolies" have been discovered, at the last minute, in validation testing and the processor will be temporarily delayed for shipment. Full details on Hardware-Unlimited.com Forums..." ninenet points to this PC Magazine article which explains the things that characterize the new chip and also mentions the delay.
As always, links to pictures will be posted.
holy shit, wasn't even trying
If nothing else, they use a million times more pixels. Apple //c vs. Apple 23" Cinema. My, how we've grown.
I've had this sig for three days.
Canter would, but Pentium wouldn't letium.

In Soviet Russia, Intel delays YOU!
Damn, that is a whack troll, bitch. You're a faggot, and most likely a loser as well.
Well, seeing as I'm a professional software developer, I think I've been part of a development process before.
I was not in any way saying that only perfect software/hardware should be released. What I plainly said was that Intel did the right thing by delaying a product launch after finding a flaw. Regardless of the seriousness of this flaw, instead of sending the product out with a minor/medium/major flaw, they decided to fix it first, then ship the product.
I'm sorry, but last time I checked, Microsoft was notorious - in the opinion of its own employees, even - of sending out half-baked products and using their customer base to test the software.
I remember Front Page...
From the accusitory nature of your post, it sounds like the real issue here is that you work for Microsoft, and know for a fact that my little slight on MS is completely valid, and I have in some way bruised your fragile, pathetically weak ego. Well, I'm sorry if your company can't get their product launches right the first time - maybe if instead of launching half-baked, insecure products, you actually tested them thoroughly first, your company wouldn't have such a crappy reputation. Perhaps getting sued by the US Government has finally straightened MS out to their constant product release problems? Or, maybe Mr. Gates' little memo did the trick?
TEL AVIV -- Israeli defense officials and military commanders have expressed amazement over the capture of one of the largest and most powerful Arab countries by what they say amounted to fewer than three U.S. Army divisions.
The officials said the U.S. strategy of avoiding enemy troop concentrations as well as exploiting combat air supremacy comprises methods far more advanced than those employed by the Israeli military.
"This has been a very strange and unprecedented war and it will take us awhile to learn what took place," Yuval Steinetz, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said. "We will have to learn from this war and draw the conclusions."
"I am jealous of them [U.S. military]," Maj. Gen. Dan Harel, head of the Israel military's C4 directorate, said. "They have advanced in areas that we were leading in only a few years ago. They have the ability to put everything together in command and control. Our navy and air force have systems. but we have to integrate them."
Officials and military commanders agreed that the U.S. war in Iraq overshadowed the 1967 Israeli victory over four Arab countries, including Iraq. They said the United States sustained about 100 casualties in three weeks of fighting that resulted in the capture of Baghdad and most Iraqi cities. In contrast, about 600 Israeli soldiers were killed in the six days of the 1967 war, most of them in the ground battle with Egypt in the Sinai Peninsula.
Thats redundant, fags are losers, choadsmoaker.
