Intel Delays Release of 4Ghz Chips

bizpile writes "The AP is reporting that Intel's faster version of the Pentium 4 will not be available by the end of the year as previously promised. They told PC makers this week that the 4-gigahertz chip will not ship until the first quarter of 2005. Intel spokeswoman Laura Anderson said, 'We felt by adjusting the schedule for the products, we could better meet our customers' volume requirements and their high expectations.'"

    What are you talking about? Haven't you seen those ads on TV? Theres plunty of people who know exactly what Centrino is about! Those Centrino laptops can get internet anywhere, for free! On top of mountains! In cinderblock classrooms! In construction sites! Laws of physics and WiFi range be damned! (Sorry, just an angry person who has to deal with confused buyers ranting)

    If they were really honest in their marketing, they'd equate the deciscion to an exercise in choosing hot, hotter, or "holy shit, I just got a blister from this god damned thing!".

    When was the last time you saw Intel or AMD delaying a product by months, and causing problems for suppliers?

    I read somewhere that Intel was going to be delaying release of their 4Ghz chips. I forget where.

    Well, nobody is ever going to RTFB so you should
    not be overly critical about the content (or lack of it).
