BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Christened as Core i7. Does it mean we will have to wait 7 next Nehalem iterations to see real product ready for OEM's, not for IDFs only?.
Let me remind you. AMD Barcelona was in A0 stage of development in November 2006. It would finally take B3 revision to be functional only after year and half. Thus, expect Nehalem as a finished product as postponed as in 2010.
Alas currently in A0 stage.

Intel already sells 45nm processors, and it is expected to release a handful of new 45nm server and high-end desktop chips, based on the Core i7 microarchitecture, by the end of the year. But AMD thinks it will be a long time before Intel gets 2P and 4P server versions of Nehalem out the door.
