Det ellers så ventede P55 chipsæt, der sammen med Lynnfield både skulle bringe Nehalem ned i et fornuftigt leje, og samtidig ha' en optimering med, er i følge hardwaresiden digitimes nu udsat på ubestemt tid.
I følge Intels egne planer var begge nyheder ellers annonceret til lancering i juli måned i år, men nu kommer vi altså til at vente :-/ .
"Intel has recently decided to postpone its next-generation mainstream CPU Lynnfield along with the P55 chipset to the end of August or the beginning of September this year, and may postpone them to an even later time depending on the market situation, according to sources at motherboard makers. Both Lynnfield and P55 were originally scheduled to launch by the end of July. The economic decline which has caused motherboard makers to suffer overstocked chipset inventory is the major reason for the pull back, according to the sources. After the P55 launches, Intel plans to phase out non-IGP P45 and P43 chipsets and will transition its 4-series IGP chipsets to the entry-level."
