And the winner for the Lie of 2007 is The Inquirer


Once distinguished computer site, is the winner of the Great 2007 Lie Award.
Here is their Award winning headline:

Intel to delay 45nm quads - report, No competition
Intel has already notified its partners that it will push back the launch of the three CPUs to February or March next year. The three CPUs that Intel plans to delay are the Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550, added the sources.

BADHARDWARE's Award Committee speech:
1. The Inquirer found bad news at badhardware long time ago.
2. Intel is in yield troubles with 45nm and high-k high end processors as badhardware reported
3. AMD touched the bottom, and Intel didn't kill it. Revenge will follow.
4. The Inquirer reported in 2003 that Intel DELAYS further Pentium speed improvements
The last holdup that Intel faced for a major desktop processor launch came during an intense clock-speed battle with chip rival AMD, when Intel announced and then recalled its 1.13GHz Pentium III.

The Inq reason? The same one like now, no competition. Hahaha. What later happened with Pentium, and its competitiveness you know. Later became known that Intel secretly and in a hurry has developed new Core Duo architecture at that moment.
Almost the same situation is now. The only difference is that Nehalem being so late is no more so secret project.
P.S. What about lies of Mr. Bush? Well, he is out of competition,
simply because he has no competition.
