Sources say 1-GHz Pentium IIIs coming March 8

Intel Corp. will formally launch its 1-GHz Pentium III microprocessor March 8, according to OEM sources. The launch, to be backed by Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., and IBM Corp., will almost certainly come in the form of limited-production "special editions," according to sources briefed by Intel. PCs using the chips will feature specially designed motherboards with larger heat sinks to accommodate the faster processors.
While the announcement may score some points with Intel's OEMs, volume production of the gigahertz chips is still slated for the third quarter, representatives at Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., have said.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., is also expected to launch a 1-GHz Athlon processor this month. Observers said it's possible the companies will rein in their introduction dates as each races to be first across the 1-GHz finish line. |
