It's been shipments in Q4, launch in Q1 for a long time now. Some dope wrote an article saying it was coming early after misinterpreting Otellini's CC comments that the SB *ramp would be faster* due to strong customer interest. Intel did not say anything was coming *sooner*, and Intel has repeatedly said that customers do not care for Q4 launches, they prefer Q1... so even if they COULD launch it in Q4... they wouldn't.
