This company absolutely blows me away. They produce this win zit mpu that appears perfect to drive laptops (lowest power consumption, smallest size), hype their development of this device over a year ago, and then dissappear behind the dark side of the moon. Wherearetheyforchrissake?
In the wsj article today about the increasing share of non-Intel laptop mpu's, they weren't even mentioned. Meanwhile, even the not yet available Rise technology mpu was discussed. And then they have the nerve to tell us that this time next year, they'll have a 400-600 mhz Win Zit 3 in volume production ... right after they said ... uh, duh, yup, we still got this 240 mhz thing ... duh, um, we didn't expect all these other guys to kick our little buts with their 300+ mhz ... Gee, we guess Americans really like fast processors ...
>>Even then, the bulk of the WinChip 2 parts will initially fall short of the 266Mhz speed seen as the entry point for the desktop market, C“t‚ admits. IDT doesn't expect to crack the 300MHz barrier until the first quarter of next year, when it plans to ship a device with a 128k level-one cache.>>
Absolutely pathetic. Does anybody have the least doubt that by then the standard will be 400 mhz?
Hey IDTI - here is a concept - if you say you're gonna do it ... do it. |
