Intel readies 1.3GHz/256K Celerons
And of course the 512K cache P4s

RESELLERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED that three Celerons are set to be introduced by Intel, each of them having 256K cache like the 1.2GHz Celeron that's out in the wild.
The launch date appears to have been brought forward to very early in January (the 3rd), and these models will supersede other Celerons at the same speed revs.
The BX denotes boxed product. The Celeron 1.0A (BX80530F1000256), the Celeron 1.1 (BX80530F1100256), and the high end Celeron 1.3 (BX80530F1300256) will be priced at the usual cut throat rates, but will have 100MHz FSBs.
And Intel, as reported here earlier, will also launch a 2.0A and 2.2 Pentium 4s on the 7th of January, complete with 512K cache and only available as Socket N (478 pins).
Prices, I hear you ask. The 1GHz/256 will cost $75, the 1.1GHz/256 $90, the 1.2GHz/256 $105 and the 1.3GHz/256 $125.
These must be, like the 1.2GHz Celeron before them, on a .13 micron copperwhoppa process.
The 2.0a/512 is initially priced at $440, and the t'other one at $629. These are distributor prices. Intel will make selected cuts on processors again at the end of December, as noted before.
As we noted in a separate story earlier today, the Duron 1GHz is now available. µ |
