Intel in serious troubles with the Yorkfield FSB !!!!
It simply doesn't work with X38 chipset. And there is bunch of those unsold at the mobo manufacturers. Now, they have left a choice to:
1. Throw X38 based mobos in can (and all their investment too)
2. Or, Intel to postpone Yorkfield 2 months until those incompatible, ill fated X38 mobos are sold.
The second option is just what is happening. Until then, AMD will ready Phenoms at 2,6 GHz and 2,4Ghz. Hard match is ahead.
Yorkfield at 2,83 Ghz against the AMD at 2,6Ghz.
And The Inquirer found no competition at Intel?
In this race Yorkfield might be slightly better in performance, but AMD's 65nm (and yield) is quite mature and prices will go down and down. However, the same design choice (huge caches) that drives Intel performance up, will drive its factory prices up too. In that situation will be hard for Intel to compete AMD. Not to mention market niches where Intel has no the answer like 3 core one.
