according to

"wolfdale will be there in january but yorkfield will be push up to end of february or march due to a bug which could crash computer. Strange thing is that QX9650 and Xeons are still sold."
hardware. fr is usually a good source of information so, I don't now what is the truth in this case.
There is a bug with yorkfield? But why QX and Xeon are still sold
The yorkfield will be late? What is the real reason? No competiton? 45nm shortage? Real bug? Problems if they kill AMD?
Edit:
An other source:

They said information come from Intel. And it's a bug related to integrity of FSB (?) only observe on some rare case in laboratories. Only yorkfield have the problem"Hier, Intel a annoncé à l'ensemble de ses partenaires avoir découvert un bug au sein de ses processeurs Yorkfield (Penryn à quatre coeurs) qu'ils n'avaient pas détecté jusqu'à lors, et qui n'a été rencontré qu'en laboratoire dans des cas assez précis.
C'est l'intégrité du signal au niveau du FSB qui serait en cause, et qui nécessiterait une nouvelle révision de la puce pour être corrigé. Ainsi, le fondeur a donc décidé de retarder la sortie de ses nouveaux modèles d'un bon mois"
Perhaps a link between that and the nvidia 680 problem?
Edit again
first source Hardware.fr add:
"Mise à jour : l'information vient de nous être confirmée officiellement par Intel."
officially confirm by intel.

We asked Intel to comment and received this response from the company's PR manager, Dan Snyder:
45nm Core 2 Quad launch is planned for Q1'08, and we are still on track for that. We can't comment on web speculation.
From january 20 up to march is still Q1...
hardware.fr has removed the "intel has confimed"
So rumour or secret
et hop dailytech now (january 16 2008...)
