Dabs Direct also jumps gun on Intel Coppermines
Online site Dabs Direct has pre-empted Intel's expected announcement of a raft of
Coppermine microprocessors this coming Monday by offering them for sale two days
early.
That follows our story yesterday, when we revealed that UK PC company Mesh was
offering systems using the .18 micron processors.
Dabs does not list every processor that Intel will introduce Monday, but lists seven or
eight of the desktop products.
Those include the Pentium III 500E, with 256K of cache and using socket 370, with the
sexy Intel code BX80526F500256, for which Dabs is charging œ165. It also lists the
Pentium III 733EB 256KB S1 with a 133MHz front side bus, which will cost œ525, and
the 666EB chip, a slot one part, which also has a 133MHz front side bus, and costs
œ410. The Pentium III 700E with 256K costs œ510.
Value added tax (VAT) at 17.5 per cent, is added to these prices.

As revealed here earlier, Intel will also introduce mobile and Xeon parts, as well as the
i840 chipset.
The Register revealed prices and configurations of these parts some weeks ago.

Intel will not comment on unannounced products and prices to journalists, but it seems
vendors just can't wait. © |
