Anyone know if this correct for Intel's '99 notebook roadmap?

300MHz Pentium MMX - Q1 '99
233+ Celeron (on chip L2 cache, 128KB?)- Q1? '99
PII (512K L2 cache) - available now
Dixon (256KB on chip L2 cache) - Q2? '99
Coppermine (.18 process, 256KB on chip L2 cache, and KNI) - 2H '99

How will Intel market the Celeron at lower processor grades (not performance-wise) at the same time as the 300MHz Pentium MMX? Consumers usually go for the higher number, so Intel will need strong convincing. Will mobile PII be discontinued when Dixon comes out, or will it stick around until Coppermine and then disappear? This "segmentation", while it looks good on paper, may confuse customers.

BTW, I got the speed grades from an old news.com article
