Robert,

Just received the following post from another web site.
Can you confirm whether the following is true or is it a
hoax?

Many thanks, Allan

Intel's new chip (MERCED) uses a 0.18-micron process, the next step beyond
the 0.25-micron process. Cymer is currently the only supplier of production
level illumination sources for .18 processes.

''Next year we are going to
go to 0.18 and we already have early silicon in 0.13-microns,'' an Intel
spokesman said.

The 0.25 micron process etches wires in silicon that are
about 400 times thinner than a human hair, and is being ramped up to make
this year's new chips for portable and high-performance computers.

They
reportedly include a 400-megahertz Pentium II chip for high-powered desktops
and a 266-megahertz Pentium II chip for mobile PCs. By the end of the year,
Intel should have high-end chips at 450 megahertz and portable PC chips at 333
megahertz.

Its current speed king is a 333-megahertz Pentium II processor. Its
fastest mobile chip is a Pentium multimedia chip running at 266 megahertz.

MERCED will run at 600 megahertz or faster, an industry spokesman said.
