Update Intel has confirmed that it will launch a 1.13GHz-256K Tualatin server chip tomorrow, as we predicted some time back, and, it has also confirmed this will be the only Tualatin server chip that will be enabled for dual server configurations. This vindicates an earlier story of ours, saying that it is unlikely to match the higher speed server Tualatins against its Dual Foster processors by disabling SMP in its faster rev Tualatins and those with 512K. You can find the updated details at Xbit labs, which has just posted a later story. MM 22.39 BST.

EARLIER STORY Xbit Labs is reporting a number of product launches both of Tualatin and of Pentium 4s which seem to confirm most of the information we've reported over the last month.
According to the site, Intel will introduce a server version of the Tualatin 1.13GHz on the 19th of June, will postpone the arrival of the mobile Tualatins until the 30th of July - as reported here - and complete its Summer of Tualatin Love by introducing 1.13GHz and 1.2GHz Tualatin Pentium IIIs on the 6th of August.
The site also has details about the launch of the two Pentium 4s and has scooped us by claiming they will arrive on the 2nd of July, together with a 900MHz Celeron and an 850MHz mobile Celeron.
If the information is correct - and Intel is currently in a great state of flux over announcements right now, as we pointed out yesterday - it does show a broad movement towards Tualatin, although we're still astonished that Intel should bother doing a 1.13GHz Pentium III.
Intel has already changed dates and prices of products several times since the beginning of May. All we know for sure is that some of the products below are definitely in the channel and with OEM customers, and that means the firm is committed to launching them...
