Sony Unimpressed By 333-MHz Chip

By Kristen Kenedy, Computer Retail Week
Sony Electronics will not add a 333-MHz
system to its lineup of Vaio PCs, a spokesman
for the company told Computer Retail Week.
"An 11 percent increase in performance
doesn't seem that big of a sell to customers,"
the spokesman said. Sony offers systems
based on Intel 200-MHz, 233-MHz, 266-MHz,
and 300-MHz CPUs.
However, Sony is eyeing the sub-$1,000
market, where sales have spiked, he said. The
company is developing a low-cost PC that will
provide customers with the performance
expected in today's market, the spokesman
said, but Sony has not announced a ship date
for such a system.
Meanwhile, as Intel prepares to ship a new
350-MHz CPU with a 100-MHz system bus,
sources said fast configuration will probably be
the next step up for Sony.
Intel plans to introduce 350-MHz and 400-MHz
CPUs on April 15, sources said. The 350-MHz
and 400-MHz systems will be based on a
100-MHz system bus, up from today's 66-MHz
system bus. That will dramatically speed up
some multimedia applications, such as soft
DVD and graphics, analysts said. |
