Paul,
Ahhh, now I remember, the Dixon will have another name, not Celeron.
So maybe the Dixon replaces the current Pentium II and takes its name.
Is a Dixon going to be cheaper to make than a Pentium II?
Also seems like a Sharptooth and a Dixon will be neck and neck speedwise except that the K6-3 will have 3DNOW! and a much smaller die size....then again yields will likely be better on the Dixon.
Hummm, this is exactly what I suggested Intel do a few weeks ago. Will be interesting to see if they follow through.
Looks like the current Pentium IIs days are numbered...again as suggested here.
Jim
