NEW FALL
MICROPROCESSOR LINES

At next week's Microprocessor Forum -- the industry's debutant's
ball -- virtually every microprocessor company will be taking the
wraps off new speeds, feeds and designs. Some of the more
significant presentations include:
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. -- The 500-MHz K7 complete
with the Slot A architecture, 512KB of Level 2 cache memory. It is
AMD's challenge to Intel's high-end Xeon processor and due in the
first half of 1999.
Compaq Computer Corp.'s Digital division -- The 64-bit EV7
version of the Alpha, which will run at speeds up to 1GHz in systems
that can have as many as 64 of the chips running together as a single
system.
Intel Corp. -- Katmai New Instructions, the follow-on to the
MMX instruction set, designed to run multimedia tasks much faster.
Katmai will first appear in 450 and 500-MHz chips in early 1999.
National Semiconductor Inc.'s Cyrix division -- The Jalapeno,
or M3 core, a virtual do everything system-on-a-chip design that will
be used in everything from set top boxes to extremely low-cost
computers. Actual chips are expected at the end of next year.
Rise Technology -- The newcomer to the x86 chip market will
detail its low-cost mP6 Pentium II compatible processor line. The
main market for these chips, due early 1999, is expected to be
portable PCs priced at less than $800.
