Re: Joshua is a 0.18 micron 2.2 Volt Part !!!! !!! And you think that's bad? Has it occurred to you that there are tens of millions of socket 7 motherboards out there that can't supply voltage lower than 2.2, but can supply 2.2? By keeping the voltage at 2.2, they'll probably sell several million additional parts per quarter as upgrades - that will be purchased instead of 2.0 volt Celerons. Even if Intel goes back to socket 7 (as has been rumored may happen) cyrix (and AMD) will own this market. Let's just wait and see if the clock multiplier pins are set up so that existing 1X, 1.5X, etc. settings for 133, 166, etc. will, on the CIII, select 433, 466. (so that motherboards without such settings will accept CIIIs). If they're smart, the CIII will be a drop in for existing Super 7 boards like the Asus P5 - a 5 minute upgrade. Dan
