of course AMD is going to deny it.. would be foolish to announce a delay when they know there are people on the fence that have been waiting that otherwise might be persauded to pull the trigger on a 2600k w/ HT instead of waiting.. Frankly i dont think AMD will ever catch up.. they have been behind to many years now. Think Intel is just way to ahead and just keeps pulling rabbits outta their corporate hat! Hope Im wrong but the trend would say Im correct
