Intel already stated in its roadmaps that
it plans to have G35 a new graphic version of Broadwater chipset known as
Broadwater refresh in Q3. Once a company states something like that it usually
means that it will ship in very late Q3.
G35 will go to the first customers in
middle of September, just two weeks before the end of the quarter. This will
only affect the customers that placed the order in middle to late July.
If you are motherboard manufacturer and you
will place the order in this period you will still have a chance to get you
golden sample motherboard in late September and probably ship a motherboard or
two in last days of quarter.
Realistically G35 integrated motherboards
will come in serious quantities only in October time and it will definitely
make the financial difference in Q4 2007.
