I have a little server to upgrade and wondered if it's worth holding a month or two for it
First commercial servers based on interlagos will be sold, under NDA, prior to launch, as we have said in the past. I will most likely be in Asia for the launch, but don't know for sure yet.

It would be good to know if there are newer samples, but i doubt JF is going to tell us.
When you make samples, they are based on the same design that you plan to take to market. You can run the fab hot, get really high speeds and really low yields. You can run the fab cold and get lower speeds and higher yields.

When you are developing silicon having a larger number of chips in your hands for validation is far more important than having the highest clock speeds. Your yield and results will tell you what you can expect from a standard distribution.

Now please give it a rest. There is no conspiracy here, people are trying to create controversey when there should be none.
