Intel to delay launch of three 45nm quad-core CPUs on poor AMD performance

Intel has recently adjusted its product strategy and will postpone three 45nm quad-core CPUs that were originally scheduled to launch in January next year, according to sources at motherboard makers.

Intel has already notified its partners that it will push back the launch of the three CPUs to February or March next year, depending on AMD's schedule for triple-core and the upcoming Phenom CPUs.

Launching the CPUs now will not benefit Intel much in its battle with AMD, while they could cause damage to Intel's 65nm quad-core CPUs, therefore the company has decided it is in no rush to release new products until AMD is able to present more of a threat.

Looks like you just pushed me back into the AMD camp, since I've really needed to upgrade for some time now.

that doesnt make much sense, intel is doing that because they have better overall performance already. why spend the money on releasing a product when you dont have to.
then again we need peeps buying amd products s othey can continue to compete, so jump on it

.
actually their new platform is pretty nice, just not quite as good as most were hoping.
