Yaacov & Intel Investors - 2 GHz Pentium 4's may be introduced by the end of Summer.

Technically speaking, Summer ends around Sept. 20 - 22

The first 2 GHz Pentium 4 is should still use the 0.18 micron process - with faster Pentium 4's due ;ater in the year based on the 0.13 micron Northwood processor.

Intel to break 2-GHz barrier this summer

In the processor arena, Intel Corp. continues to raise the bar. Aiming to set the next major milestone in microprocessors, the Santa Clara, Calif., chip giant is reportedly planning to sample the world's first 2-GHz MPU for mainstream desktop computing applications by "late this summer," said sources in the Asian motherboard community.
The awaited 2-GHz chip is part of Intel's flagship Pentium 4 processor series. At present, Intel's fastest Pentium 4 processor is a 1.7-GHz device, which is designed for high-end PCs and low-end workstations.

Intel's Pentium 4 processor lines--including the upcoming 2-GHz chip--are based on 0.18-micron design rules.
A spokesman for Intel confirmed that the company will launch a 2-GHz Pentium 4 processor sometime in the third quarter of 2001, but he declined to give a specific date.
By year's end--possibly as early as October--Intel will roll out a 0.13-micron version of the Pentium 4 processors. Code-named Northwood, the 0.13-micron Pentium 4 chip line will start at 2- and 2.2-GHz speed grades, sources said.
Intel will continue to offer the 0.18-micron Pentium 4 chips for some time--that is until the company completely ramps up its 0.13-micron process in the first or second half of 2002. --M.L.
