Hi Steve Lee; Re link for Timna and SDRAM, not RDRAM. Didn't realize you were waiting for a link. Here it is: The MTH was also intended to be a key part of Intel's Timna launch, originally scheduled for the second half of this year. The Timna processor includes the components generally associated with the north-bridge part of the chip set, including a Rambus memory controller. Intel has been developing this part for several years, and originally expected RDRAM to be the dominant memory format throughout the PC market-including the low end, where the highly integrated Timna is aimed. However, with RDRAM seeing low usage overall, and with high prices almost certain to keep the technology out of the Timna's expected low-cost PC segment, Intel has been planning to use the MTH as a means to launch the processor with SDRAM support. The need to design an entirely new memory interface product is forcing the company to push back the Timna launch until a chip that can link it to SDRAM is available. The new schedule calls for both parts to be available in volume in the first quarter of next year. No Timna for Christmas techweb.com Now if Intel wanted to ship Timna with RDRAM, they would have announced it already. Instead, RDRAM is stuck in the workstation segment, and Intel had to delay Timna until when they could ship it with SDRAM. -- Carl
