The chips will accompany the introduction of the 820 chip set, formerly code-named Camino, which will support the 133-MHz system bus. from zdnet.com Coppermine is the code-name for Pentium III processors that will be made using Intel's 0.18 micron manufacturing process. The design will allow for several performance improvements for the Pentium III, including integrated Level 2 cache for desktop versions of the chip, lower power consumption for versions that go in portables, and cooler thermals for small form factor PCs. The manufacturing process will also allow Intel to push the Pentium III to higher clock speeds on Coppermine, It was undecided as to whether it should introduce Coppermine, a design that will result in a multitude of new chips for desktops, notebooks and servers, separately or all at once in a big blowout launch.
