I don't know where this guy Gavric got the info that P4 0.13 samples were shipped six weeks ago. That was nowhere in the EBN article. And he conveniently leaves out that the P4 0.13 won't be shipped until "late Q4." from Intel's ( www6.tomshardware.com ) November 2000 roadmap: Intel is planning Pentium 4 processors at 1.7 GHz or more for Q1/2001 already and Q2/2001 is supposed to be the time when the first 2 GHz Pentium 4 will see the light of the world. from Feb. 9, 2001 (4 months ago) www6.tomshardware.com : The upcoming Pentium 4 is found in Intel's roadmaps under the code name 'Northwood' and is supposed to start replacing the 'old' Pentium 4 in Q3/2001. Besides other performance enhancements it will come with 512 kB second-level cache and therefore twice the L2-cache of today's Pentium 4. Northwood will be produced in 0.13 micron process and it will have a new package for a new socket called mPGA478, for it will have 478 pins, quite a few more than the 423 pins found in the Pentium 4 of today... From a leaked roadmap on April 9, 2001 Message 15636287 : The Pentium 4 CPU based on Northwood core will debut in mid Q4 and will have the starting core frequency equal to 2.2GHz. So, since 7 months ago (November), the 0.13u P4 has been delayed by AT LEAST six months. (From Q2 to "late Q4") Since 4 months ago (Feb. 9), it has been delayed at least three months. (From Q3 to "late Q4") Since 2 months ago (April 9), it has been delayed by at least one month (From "mid Q4" to "late Q4") and the clock frequency has been lowered by 10%. I'm starting to see a pattern here! With the beast still six months away, I figure there's room for about five MORE months of delay. Petz
