ANN , SONKI - NOT SO SURE - INTEL IS USUALLY AHEAD OF THE CURVE : Monday October 13 11:47 AM EDT Dell says Intel chip to send PC power soaring FRANKFURT, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp (DELL) chairman Michael Dell said he expected the new computer chip Intel Corp (INTC) is unveiling this week to bring on a surge in PC performance. The chip that Intel plans to detail at a semiconductor industry conference this week would allow PC makers like Dell to produce machines that rival the performance of mainframes such as a high-end IBM System 390. ''This is the technology that really drives us up through the 390 into mainframe central,'' Dell said during a tour through Germany. ''I'm talking a five-to-seven year time-frame, but that's where it's going.'' Intel and development partner Hewlett-Packard Co. plan to detail the chip, code-named Merced, at the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose this week. In one of the greatest shifts in PC technology, Intel and HP aim to rework Intel's 20-year old X86 architecture into a form that can support performance gains well into the next century. For the last two decades, Intel has managed to double the performance of its X86 chips about every 18 months. The X86 is the basis for about 80 percent of the world's computers and the heart of Intel's current line up of Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors. Dell admitted the future of PC companies depends heavily on Intel's ability to pull off such an ambitous change. ''I think we are all going to pay close attention to it,'' he said. His company last week said it planned to develop future products around Merced. BEST WISHES BILL
