The reason for Coppermine delays
Posted: July 17th by Armin

This month - I'm sorry I didn't brought you this news before - Intel's Craig Barret came to the Netherlands. He was pretty much impressed by the
Dutch ICT-sector. According to Barret the Netherlands have the opportunity to become the electronic gateway to Europe, like they now are
already the gateway for other economical transports. (Note: This is thanks to Rotterdam, the biggest harbour in the world.).

Now for the more CPU-related news. Barret wasn't really willing to speak about the competition with AMD. About the Competition with SUN:
"Sure we want to make Scott McNealy's life as miserable as possible." So seems that this story didn't change ... :-)

He was more clear about the Pentium III. Coppermine is - as we knew already - delayed. Therefore Intel will release a 'normal' Slot 1 Pentium III
600MHz based on a .25 micron technology. In September Intel will also release a mobile Pentium III 500MHz. The .18 Coppermine will now be
released in November. The reason was the on-die 256kB L2 cache. Up to 500MHz there weren't too much problems, but above the fail-rate was
still to high to release the chip.

Some more news: Intel plans to have all their fabs migrated to .18 technology next year and is working in the lab on .13 and copper technology.
Intel is also working on bigger wafers (300nm) to increase yield. Mass-production of this technology is expected in 2002.
