Pentium 4 held up by lack of chipset, memory support
Aug. 11, 2000 (Electronic Buyers News - CMP via COMTEX) -- Intel Corp., Santa
Clara, Calif., has delayed the launch of its first Pentium 4 processor,
code-named Willamette, until late in the fourth quarter, according to a
financial analyst. In a report to clients, Jonathan Joseph of Salomon Smith
Barney Inc., San Francisco, said the Pentium 4-originally expected to debut in
the third quarter-is being delayed until adequate supplies of the Tehama chipset
and Direct Rambus DRAM are available. A Pentium 4 follow-on, code-named
Northwood, will debut in the third quarter of 2001 for the mainstream desktop
PC, according to Bert McComas, an analyst at InQuest Inc., Gilbert, Ariz.
