Intel to delay launch of three 45nm quad-core CPUs

Intel has recently adjusted its product strategy and will postpone three 45nm quad-core CPUs that were originally scheduled to launch in January next year, according to sources at motherboard makers.

Intel has already notified its partners that it will push back the launch of the three CPUs to February or March next year, depending on AMD's schedule for triple-core and the upcoming Phenom CPUs.

Launching the CPUs now will not benefit Intel much in its battle with AMD, while they could cause damage to Intel's 65nm quad-core CPUs, therefore the company has decided it is in no rush to release new products until AMD is able to present more of a threat.

The three CPUs that Intel plans to delay are the Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550, added the sources.

Intel commented that its launch of 45nm quad-core CPUs for desktops is on track for first quarter 2008, but declined to disclose a specific time-frame.

This is what people have been talking about in the past as well, if AMD doesn't get their act together then Intel sees no real benefit from pushing newer technology as quickly. I was hoping to get one of those as well

Well I have heard that AMD is dropping the Phenom name of the Dual cores to Athlon as a buget processor with no L3 and are going to use there tri core Phenom to compete with Intel Dual core.
