Maybe some chips are in awesome condition and they are trying to send a strong signal they are ready for it, and AMD is not.
altough the initial results look really good, i just hold off til i see some more meaningfull benchmarks
You are dead wrong.

I know an Intel fab engineer (or 2) and they say these could be pushed out in under 60 days if absolutely necessary (i.e. AMD pulled a rabbit out of it's hat).

They work, they are stable, and they run within the same thermal envelope as current 45nm Penryn Quads.
