8-way Profusion chipset for Xeon coming August 23 Also Pentium III Xeon 550 MHz with L2 cache greater than 512K will be released at the same time as Profusion. Mobile Celerons at 433 and 466 MHz are coming September 15. And finally, the 820 Camino chipset, the one supporting DRDRAM, will arrive September 27, along with Pentium III CPUs running at 533 MHz and 600 MHz on a 133 MHz processor bus. ga-source.com Tenchusatsu ===================================================================== Intel Prepares Xeon Processor Intel is preparing to officially announce the launch date and pricing details for its eight-way Xeon processor for servers on Aug. 23; mobile Celeron processors on Sept. 15; and a new chip set for Pentium III, which will support 133-MHz frontside bus speeds and hig her speed memory on Sept. 27. On Monday, Aug. 2, Intel is also announcing a 600-MHz version of the Pentium III and a 500-MHz version of its desktop Celeron chip. As Intel completes the first full year of its market segmentation strategy, the busy schedule reflects what the future will be like from Intel with a continual stream of new products coming out during the year for servers, high performance desktops, mobiles, and value line PCs. The first announcement will come on Aug. 23, when Intel announces a 550-MHz version of its Xeon processor for servers that will use the Profusion chip set for eight-way processing. The processor and chip set will allow a maximum of 2MB of cache, have a 100-MHz frontside bus, include the SIMD extensions for faster processing of multimedia files and address as much as 64GB of main memory. Up until now, eight-way capability has been the domain of companies, such as NEC, Sequent, SGI, Sun, and Tandem, that address an IT space higher up in the enterprise and typically run systems with Unix. NEC, for example, is currently shipping its Express HV 8600 which offers eight-way processing using its own Aqua II chip set and Level 3 cache. The Intel product announcement will continue on Sept. 15 when the company introduces the Mobile Celeron at both 433 MHz and 466 MHz. One analyst believes the faster mobile Celerons are targeted at end-users whose interest may not go beyond processor performance. Finally on Sept. 27, technology will veer slightly off the straight performance when Intel introduces the 820 chip set, which will enable a 133-MHz frontside bus as well as support the faster Rambus memory technology. The Pentium IIIs to be introduced on that day will have speeds of 533 MHz and 600 MHz, even though a 600-MHz Pentium III will be also introduced on Monday. The faster system bus, however, makes the difference. Source: InfoWorld
