According to a report, Intel decided to postpone launch of 45nm quadcore CPUs due to lack of competition from AMD. AMD’s upcoming Phenom is not really that phenomenal.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT, Intel has decided to postpone the launch of its 45nm quad-core CPUs because AMD is in such a mess.
Digitimes said it learned from motherboard makers that the chippery was scheduled to launch in January next year. But now the mobo mob have coughed that the launch will be put back a month or two.
Apparently, Intel will flog its 65nm quad-core processors for a while longer since AMD’s triple-core and upcoming Phenom CPUs aren’t ready.
The chips we’re talking about here are the Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550, Digitimes said.

I guess Intel can rest for another 3 months. Not a good news for technology lovers though. I have at least 2 friends waiting quite impatiently for Intel Core 2 Quads.

It is unlikely to delay 45 nm quads due to lack of AMD competition. The lack of competition was there when they launched QX9650. There is probably some technical issue involved
