Well this is horrible news for Intel fans. According to motherboard manufacturers, Intel's upcoming dual core Presler has stability issues.

Sampling Intel’s 65nm dual-core Presler processors has revealed some stability problems, according to unspecified motherboard makers, adding that the problematic CPUs include the 2.8GHz 920 and 3.0GHz 930 series. Launch of end products based on the Intel Presler core may be pushed back from the January 2006 date originally scheduled by system vendors, the makers noted.

DDR2 sales might be doing poorly but Elpida delivers DDR3 samples to Intel. Since Intel is resuming 865GV production, it has asked memory manufacturers to produce more DDR memory.

With Intel reportedly scheduled to restart production of entry-level 865GV chipsets this quarter, the chip giant requested DRAM makers to allot more capacity for DDR, according to sources at memory makers.
