But better than Amd.
Any company that doesn't delay product releases is probably a bad company (or just an incredibly perfect one which doesn't exist). Delays are usually the cause of incompleteness in a product, I'd rather the product (especially hardware) be delayed rather than released before completion.

Unfortunately, consumers are too ignorant to understand and managers don't always have engineering experience, so therefore we get unfinished buggy products hitting the market.

The difference between Hammer and Prescott is Prescott is a consumer product, Hammer was intended to start as a server/more "mission critical" product. So naturally, AMD would have to delay Hammer as much as necessary; nobody running servers wants buggy hardware. The average consumer, however, doesn't always care (to a bigger degree) if the thing only works 98% of the time versus 99.9%.

Whether or not what you intended by attaching that last phrase was good or bad I don't know. But I see delays as a good sign that the company is trying to provide a good (quality) product.
 
Very true.

After all, we know intel they don't delay products, they just release them with bugs (coppermine 1.13, i820).

Yes i know, intel makes quality products don't flame me...its just so fun to pick at the mistakes of companies.

Hence why the Wilamette was born in 2000 rather than 2002. :frown:
