Contrary to the opinion of various ... individuals ... around here, I give you the information and dates as we currently believe them to be... but that's what openness gets us, more hate for missing dates. We keep quiet and we get beat up for not being open, if we are open, we get beat up for not being accurate. It's a no win situation, maybe I should follow W.H.O.P.R.s advice.
Meh
I think it would help if you could answer the more specific questions of why you've been delayed in the past. The delays have generally been accompanied with vague answers as to why.
Have you actually received any chips from the foundry yet? If so, how many? Were they completely defective, or did they run, but just at a slower speed than you wanted?
Were you expecting to receive the second batch of chips (assuming there was a first) in late November? Was that expected receipt date then pushed back to December 11th, and then again to (potentially) the middle of January?
I suppose what I am getting at is, were the chips the only reason for the delays from the start? Why were the chips delayed from October until January?
