RE: <Coppermine will launch at 667MHz because of the holdover P856 version, she said.> Kap: <The "holdover P856" version is probably the recently released .25u PIII-600.> OK, I didn't read it that way but maybe it just means that since there is a 600 MHz PIII they will make sure that Coppermine is 667 MHz before they intro it. That's not so mysterious.

Kap, <This may be a very important clue of a change in the roadmap: continue slotted PIII/PC100/PC133 for a long time, well into the next year. The DRDRAM problems or poor CuMine yields would be behind such change.> Intel may be forced to support PIII longer than they want to because of the delayed CuMine introduction and also because they do not have a viable chipset for CuMine internally. Given the more recent developments, Intel probably would do anything in their power to not use VIA chipsets. That makes the DRDRAM saga an intriguing one. The current release date is Sep 27. This seems suspiciously like some one is trying to say "hey, we shipped it in 3rd quarter - per our promise" regardless of its marketability, production worthiness or intent to use. Chuck
