<Pentium III Processors 750 and 800 MHz
On December 20, 1999 Intel launched the Pentium III processors at 800MHz and 750MHz for desktop PCs. Initial shipments of the 750 MHz processor into the distribution channel (box and tray) are expected to begin in early January '00. Shipments of the 800MHz processor into the distribution channel (box and tray) are expected to begin later in Q1'00. >

Initial shipments of 750 in Jan and release in December - makes sense.

Shipments of 800MHz.....expected to begin later in Q1'00 and release in December - makes even more sense.

Note that there is still no reference to "volume" shipments.

<February 27, 2000 Price Move
There will be a significant price move on Intel© Pentium© III and Celeron? processors on February 27, 2000 as Intel transitions to higher performance levels. Intel hopes that through providing advanced notice of this price move, we will help our customers to better manage inventory levels. We expect that supply in the March time frame will improve to support the increased sales activity prompted by the February 27 price move.>

So, I guess February 27th or thereabouts) may be the time for phantom launch of 850/866.
