Re: Anand and SharkyExtreme have both posted excellent reviews...

You mean this?
We'd have liked/expected a little more from the benchmarks. Despite an impressive show in the 3D Winbench Processor and 3D Mark 2000 CPU tests, in some cases, the performance increase over the 1GHz Pentium III falls a good deal short of 10%. No doubt you folks would have liked a little more… Call it what you want- the “post-1GHz unenthusiastic-disorder”, but we're looking for something more exciting than “this week's fastest CPU by a margin of 2-5%.

Pentium III appears to have hit a pretty hard wall at 1GHZ. By using microcode to add wait states it runs at a nominal 1.13GHZ, but it looks like 933 was the end of the road for any volume production at .18

How's it going with those copper FABs Intel thought it didn't need but is suddenly racing to build? Will they be ready by Q4? Q2 of 01? Q4 of 01? How about Q2 of 2002?
