Although the initial plan was to introduce the new high-end X38 chipset at the end of September, Intel's new silicon chip is up to the task even earlier, and a new release date has actually been announced. AMD will launch Barcelona on September 10 and Intel is simply going to get the upper hand and launch the X38 on September 9. Motherboards powered by the X38 are expected to hit the stores early next month.
Wow
Intel is full of surprises
lol @ Intel .... thats just good buisness rofl
Maybe now they can lift their NDA on the X38 mobos earlier and we can get a sneak peak...
Intel really wants to pound and hammer those 100" nails into AMD's coffin!
lord have mercy :rofl: all the times they say they arent concerned about AMD posing any considerable threat, yet every move they make seems to aim at pounding AMD into the dust.
i can see it now
AMD: let's move our launch date forward to Sept 8th
Intel: hmm 7th
AMD: 6th!
Intel: 5th!
AMD: stuff it August 28th
Intel: August 24th :)
XS members: yay tomorrow! :D

This is good to hear after so many rumors.
