:!: Originally scheduled to debut on the 23rd of July, Intel has postponed the release of its Conroe desktop cpu to July, 27, 2006. The reasons for the move are unclear.

Also, Intel will cease production of processors based on the NetBurst micro-architecture by late 2007.

for the benefit of those who missed it. :]

I missed it the first time....

I was gonna get a conroe, but now that I have to wait 4 more days, I am going with an Athlon X2....

u got to be kidding. A 4 days wait wouldn't kill.

u got to be kidding. A 4 days wait wouldn't kill.

I will go after Conroe in September, so 4 or 40 days latter market availability of Conroe, means nothing to me.

I was willing to wait 2 days, but not 4.... But it will probably be a paper release anyway - won't it? Do you think people will actually be able to get their dirty stinking grubby paws on them that day?

Damn Intel!
