Unfortunately, there’s apparently no further details on either of those tantalizing possibilities just yet, but the company has done a bit of bragging about its current CPU shipments, saying that it expects its shipments in the first half of 2008 to equal its total shipments in 2007 — a number that only seems set to go up if Isiah’s benchmarks are any indication.
