Patent? Paitent? Could he have meant patient?

Plus the processor has already been launched: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/xeon5000/index.htm

Unless the page in question has changed since the article was published, I think you'll find it's talking about the "Harpertown" Xeon, which is the older Core 2-derived design. And Apple has been selling Nehalem-based Xeons in the Mac Pro for over a month now, so it's not as if the new Xeon is some dark secret!

"We guess that Intel is being patent because with the economy"

i have been up 27 hours and even noticed that, patent is not the correct word, i think he means paitent
