Slipped
Just as we suggested before, Intel’s Havendale has been pushed to Q1 2010. This means Intel might be having some issues putting a GPU on a CPU, as this task sounds very complicated, and most likely is very complicated.
Intel’s official line is that “Havendale schedule is being adjusted to intercept Q1’2010 retail and business cycles with production beginning in Q4 ’09,” which clearly means that Intel cannot keep its promise to launch this platform in Q4; and it accuses business cycles and bit OEM launches for the delays.
The scenario should be quite simple in Q1 2010, but OEMs should announce systems based on Havendale at CES 2011 and they should start shipping them a bit later, at least we can hope for it. Lynnfield, the other 45nm Nehalem derived quad-core, should be ready for Q4 2009 launch.
