New P4 800 to be delayed.

[GrumpyMan]

Looks like it there will be some more delay for those who were looking to upgrade. Link.

As usual, when they say late April they really mean June.

Most likely July before we see any real mainstream quantity.

Yeah, it looks like it might be failing in some sort of Prime testing. Too bad with the chipset already to go and everything. Good thing it's backwards compatible to 533 fsb cpu's.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was installing my new 9700 Pro yesterday so I didn't have time to cruise GH. I guess that's why he's the Ace reporter here.

The Inq's SPIN:

INQUIRER peered and peered to try and unearth the glitch but it was in the words of the sage, "nowhere found".

The marchitectural glitch isn't hard to unearth, given our own skills in marchitecture.

There's an inexplicable erratum in the jumper setting of prices. Intel forgot to tell everybody there would be prices and that the 3GHz Canterwoodgate ready processor was cheaper than the 3.06GHz current Pentium 4 without 800MHz front side bus.

The 3GHz chip ? the flagchip so to speak ? cost less than the 3.06GHz. What a screwup.

And Andy Bryan and his team of beancounters couldn't put the genii back in the bottle, given that Intel spinsters worldwide had made everyone vow they wouldn't break the embargo until the 14th of April.

Then there is the 3.20GHz Pentium 4 priced at $637 but aww... awww... it's all getting too complicated.
