Paul, >Intel Investors - Otellini Commits - Monday will be the Pentium 4 launch !!
Allright! Nailed this one (hope I'm not jumping the gun): Q4-2000 was the Intel goal.
"We have an internal goal to accelerate that (crossover to Pentium 4) to late next year," Otellini said.
That must speak to 0.13 and a lot of other things.
To ensure a smooth transition, the company plans to convert five processor fabrication plants to manufacture the Pentium 4, Intel said.
Help out my AMAT stock too, which needs it but still a 3 - 4 bagger BION on original purchase.
Despite the higher cost, Otellini said, "I think you'll see very aggressive system prices. We've very happy with where they're starting, and they'll only come down."
Systems on Monday?
"It is my understanding that there are a lot of (third party Pentium 4 chipsets) in development," he said.
With Intel's seal of approval, it is likely that some of these chip sets could ship as soon as the first quarter of 2000, analysts said after the briefing.
Man, that would be soon!!!
