The giant has fallen behind in chips for multimedia -- and investors aren't happy

For years, Intel Corp.'s (INTC ) aggressive chip-delivery schedule has been as predictable as, well, Moore's Law. The chipmaker consistently doubled the number of transistors on a processor every two years, just as the man said. Advertisement

Lately, though, Intel's road map -- the delivery schedule it uses to let customers know when new products will hit the market -- has taken as many twists as an Alpine pass. Over the past eight months, Intel has suffered a string of delays and manufacturing snafus. The latest occurred on July 29, when it said a speedy new 4-gigahertz Pentium chip due by yearend would be delayed until 2005. It's enough to make investors grouchy -- and put CEO Craig R. Barrett on edge. "This is not the Intel we all know," he e-mailed employees, "and that is not acceptable."

I am Glad that I could help You out. And I totally agree with You about waiting a little bit, so that the prices drop and also until first reviews and user opinions came by...
