Intel didn't delay a product launch, they delayed a PROCESS launch, which is a much bigger deal given their previous cadence towards the bottom. Physics is kicking the silicon industry's ass.
Meanwhile, the guys doing HDL and verification at Intel don't even notice the process delay, they just go about what they're doing, leaving them plenty of time to implement whatever (namely GPU improvements, which is what most of the industry has been requiring for newer Windows/Mac OS Xes).
