"According to internetnews.com a workshop in Taipei has been re-labeling nearly a million AMD Athlon XPs (http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3453541). It seems AMD is spending more time investigating this than on releasing their new Alchemy chipset (http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/ProductInformation/0,,50_2330_6625,00.html) which boasts direct transfer of video from digital video recorders to portable players without the need to transcode through a PC.""

To be fair, the actual article doesn't say anything about Alchemy being delayed, it's not even due for at least 4 months - the relabeling has just "put a damper" on the press announcement of the chipset. The delay comment seems to be a slash-dotter misreading the article.
