Harry - Re: " Intel has gone out of their way to drum
up more software to be ready (we hope) at the time of the launch, and b) they are keeping the intro under deep cover to avoid people putting off Xmas purchases. "

I think you are right on both counts.

My concern for next year, however, is Intel's Katmai Ramp. Recall the very fast Pentium MMX conversion in 1997? Intel was stuck with a huge pipeline full of the non-MMX's and stumbled during the conversion in Q1 and Q297.

I sure hope Katmai wafer starts are already beginning.

I wonder if the Katmai will made on the "optically shrunk" 0.18 micron process with 5 layers of metal (a shrink of the first Katmai) ?
