Tench,

Re: "533/600 PIII release"

Well it sure is bizarre to introduce a product to help a ramp down. I don't buy it at all.

Originally the camino/rambus/PIII533/600 combo was due in June.

Then it was delayed into september.

I think management doesn't want to delay camino/rambus again as the media keeps harping on the camino/rambus delays etc.

So they are introducing a product that will start phasing out in 30 days that the big OEMS are not too excited about.

As far as camino/820 this is now only 5% of build for Q4.

So most coppermines will be the 600/650 grades.

So volumes of 667 and 733 parts will be less than 5% of mix.
And remember PB has spent a long time bitching about low volumes of Athlon 650's etc!!!

The whole situation is very bizarre - I would at least expect a 700Mhz speed coppermine - but with a 7x multiplier those latencies get awfully long.

Interesting mess that Intel has gotten itself in.

regards,

Kash
