Intel churning out 100,000 45 nm processors every day
@ 2008/03/10It may be much more difficult for AMD to catch up with Intel than previously anticipated. Intel is plugging away at an astonishing rate, its engines appear to be working flawlessly at this time, at least from what we can see. At yesterday’s analyst meeting, chief executive Paul Otellini said that Intel has shipped more than four million 45 nm processors so far since their launch late last year.
As big/bad as the launch of "Core " was, Penryn has simply been worse from both an availability + pricing standpoint. Which should not have been the case.
At this rate I should plan on buying Nehalem sometime around mid 2009 instead of this year.
