Will Intel Decision to Push Back three 45 nm Quad chips to Feb-March Affect Mac Pro?

[law guy]

Digitimes is reporting that Intel is pushing back a release date for three 45 nm quad core desktop chips because AMD is in such bad shape right now that they don't pose any threat and Intel can get a little more milage out its 65nm line. Will this mess up the expected Mac Pro revision - or at least part of that line?

Single socket desktop quads and not the Xeon.

That's good news. Apple can delay their own launches enough without Intel's help. I can't wait until Nov. 12th... oh wait... I can't wait until MWSF.
