Launch?

Is it my imagination or has the standards for "launch" been drained even further?

We are now considering a new STEPPING to be a launch?

'Shipping' is now considered a launch?

Parts with no pricing at launch? (You now have to guess at some of the pricing? Huh?)

Pssst... we're launchng some parts we already launched last year... Prices you ask? Eh, we'll announce that later - it's not like people are going to be able to buy these things on the launch date. We've got plenty of time to fill in the details.

By the way could you clarify if the wattages are TDP or 'ACP'?

AMD needs a miracle!!!

Looking at the current trend of events it will take a miracle from heaven, to help save AMD from what seems to an all too clear death ahead.

Now, if only

AMD would get the rest of the lead free out, specifically the SB710 or SB750, the pieces for a fairly decent AMDATI box would fall together. E8xx prices have risen apparently due to low supply, X48 boards seem shockingly pricey although not that much worse than X38, and this is not the year to go DDR3.
