Petz, I haven't heard of Boot magazine so I don't really think they can qualify as a authoratative source, but who knows? I don't have the answers either but my guess is Deschutes will intro in 1H98, possibly Q1'98. I am not an authority on this matter either. I believe Intel said at the microprocessor forum that Deschutes will intro at 333mhz and go "much higher". How much higher is much higher? Look at past products. The 486 went from 20 - 100mhz. A factor of 5. The pentium went from 60 to at least 233mhz, a factor of nearly 4. If the p6 generation goes 3x that will be 166-500mhz. I believe 4x may be more like it but that assumes a move to .18u. That would bring it to 666mhz but I'm starting to get dizzy. Your figures may be right, time will tell. EP
