Meanwhile, the P4 plot thickens:
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.

This was posted by Don Green on the Rambus thread, Message 14203266, but I couldn't find the story on the EBN web site. Very interesting, I say.
Cheers, Dan. |
