When a company delays a product launch, it's usually because they have too much work to do, not not enough.

- RandomBK 11y agoNo, it means that some departments have too much work. Other teams and task forces can use this time to experiment with new stuff.
- awalton 11y agoIntel didn't delay a product launch, they delayed a PROCESS launch, which is a much bigger deal given their previous cadence towards the bottom. Physics is kicking the silicon industry's ass. Meanwhile, the guys doing HDL and verification at Intel don't even notice the process delay, they just go about what they're doing, leaving them plenty of time to implement whatever (namely GPU improvements, which is what most of the industry has been requiring for newer Windows/Mac OS Xes).
