RE:"Anand was contacted by Intel and told that the voltage is 2.0,
not 1.8. I wonder what this means."...
I've also talked to a vendor who has sold 7 Pentium IIIs and they were also 2.0v....
What does it mean? It means our resident process gurus, Yousef and Engle, who were bragging about the 1.8v Pentium III, weren't informed by their Intel sources that the P-III was actually 2.0v. And have egg on their faces again.
Of course, maybe it really WAS 1.8v but Intel couldn't get the yields they wanted so like AMD, they had to bump up the voltage. Which would tell us that Intel really hasn't pulled any further ahead in process technology...
