i think the x6800 probably sold better than expected,so intel have decided to delay the release of the rest of the range in order to encourage people who want new CPUs NOW to buy the far more expensive product. means more money for intel, quite a dirty trick but i bet in the long run it works for them
Although clearly some people will be disappointed at having to wait longer, I think I speak for a lot of members when I say that we appreciate being told that there's a delay and we appreciate information, updates, etc.! Even if it's bad news, it's better than just being left hanging with no information and not knowing what's going on.
Thanks OcUK!

As with all new product launches their are bound to be problems, whether it be actually sourcing the product or otherwise annoying issues.....
Personally i'm waiting to order and while slightly dissapointed I can't really see what all the fuss is about, it's only a couple of weeks and everyone's been banging on about Conroe for the past 6 months! I can also see no point in pre-ordering products that arrive in dribs and drabs, it would only serve to fustrate me more!
Intel are just using one of the oldest tricks in the book from a manufacturers standpoint, knowing that short supply of stock in demand does wonders for holding prices as high as possible..... Just like when Sony release a new playstation, they always realease about 10% of what is actually demanded!
There is no point whatsoever in bitching and whining at Gibbo or anyone else at OcUK about Intels shortcomings, from experience all I can say is that they always seem to do whatever they can, and at least they've now informed everyone of the situation instead of not communicating anything at all.

well i was planning on buying a lowly LGA775 chippy as a spare in case anyhting goes wrong - guess that now thats what i'll run until my 6600 comes into stock.
i already have everything else i need and have buyers lined up for parts of my old kit.
guess this shows us all how much intel really value their customers though

I am just annoyed because I got time off to build a PC I will not have components for and that time off was VERY hard to come by. I won't be getting time off again any time soon and I have to take it now that I booked it.
So I have a reason to be miffed.. there is still hope perhaps if they turn up before friday the 4th

It certainly is, Intel have succeeded in completely ******* me right off today.
I thought the timing was great, the launch was coninciding with me having time off work and now they've put it back to when I'm going to be back at work and have to muck about with trying to get stuff delivered. Thanks very much Intel
If the CPU's weren't going to be released today then they shouldn't have left everyone with the distinct impression that they were.

There was someone on these forums not long ago claiming that there wouldn't be delays and that yields were really good.
Bet they feel stupid now!
