i955X and PEE (DC) rushed out the door ASAP now

[Mephistopheles]

Intel will, in what can only be described a kneejerk reaction, launch the i955X and PEE (DC) <A HREF="http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1977" target="_new">next week...</A>

Too expensive, and even then, too weak of a product to have high hopes for.

 

[HardWareBoss]

Your right way to expensive. $999 So now the rush is on for dual-core. Not like the race we had for 1000Mhz CPUs.

It might be crap, but it'll probably win Intel the race. (Unless AMD is hiding something.) It might cost a fortune, but then only rich people and fools buy the latest and greatest when they first come out, <i>especially</i> when that LnG is unproven.

So, in other words, nothing new here. It's all SOP.

Consequently, can one call it a "a kneejerk reaction" when it's their SOP? :\ I'm not sure how I feel on that one. Can it be both? I don't know.

Historicly, Intel has been very linear, and well thought out in there products. It has only been since prescott that they have been so "kneejerk". It is a little tragic that 1 massive failure has caused them so much anxiety. (Well unless you include itanic)

Nah, its only when they are trailing AMD. Have you forgotten the race the 1 GHz and intels infamous paper 1 GHz P3 (well before 866 and 933 ones) ?

I've gotta agree with P4man on this one. Historicly any time AMD has a serious upper hand Intel tries to match it, and usually by pushing something out the door that IMHO might have been a good product one day, but wasn't ready for prime time yet.
