Looks like this is nothing more than pragmatism on Intel's part, rather than any defect in their chips.

I have to agree. With nothing out there to challenge Intel's present chips let alone the soon to be introduced Intel has decided to let the market percolate a bit longer.

The introduction of higher end parts usually has a lowering affect on existing parts in the marketplace. Intel has no need to do so since there is no comparative (Performance wise) part available that would pressure Intel even a little bit to release higher performing parts.


Intel is just playing it smart. Show that they have the new goods but don't release them as yet to milk the retail/wholesale available parts longer.

Suprised to see so many against AMD. Without them, intel's prices would be MUCH higher. And if they don't released some good quads soon, we won't be seeing cheap quads for a VERY long time.

Default Update on Situation?
Dailytech Article

Well, there you have it, folks. The quad-cores have an "errata" in them that could degrade long-term stability. Fortunately, this errata isn't found in the $1000+ Extreme quad-cores, or the Xeons. Or, amazingly enough, in the dual-cores that you'd expect the Quad-cores to possess two of...
...yeah.

Default Boooooo!
Naughty Intel-forgetting to make the mid-range desktop quads work as planned

Maybe the shareholders will give them a kick up the ass this week given the gloomy sales projections for 2008 with the whole economic meltdown going on + bad publicity.

Who knows the share issues might see the midrange quads released a little sooner.

BTW i noticed the source was selling a phenom desktop for about $650
