So May Apple Not Start Taking Orders Next Week Aiden?
I never doubted you Aiden. So does that pre-empt Apple from starting to take orders next week then?I used to work in the workstation division of one of the top Intel vendors, supporting hardware betas and ISVs and the like (look up names like "Deschutes", "Klamath", "Katmai", "Coppermine", "Tualatin"). My experience over those years is as I've described - lots of chips early - but sales started when Intel opened the gates with the announcement.
Why is it so hard to believe that "street date" refers to both "retail boxes containing the bare CPU" and "retail sales of systems containing the CPU"?
What's the real difference between an Intel Penryn CPU box marked "Do not sell before 12 November" and an HP ProLiant Penryn system box marked "Do not sell before 12 November".
