Lynnfield and P55 Delayed

[supershanks]

Intel appears to br pushing back the launch of Lynnfield the 2 channel Nehalem and it's P55 chipset. Originally pencilled in for July, launch has slipped to July, August. It may even be later. Pressure for the delay appears to have come from motherboard manufacturers who have, with the economic downturn and poor Q4 '08 sales, been left with high inventory of ongoing chipsets.

Report: mainstream Nehalem variants delayed

I think this was inevitable.

I'll bet we'll see a lot of "special edition" boards around soon.
