Intel turns up the pressure... From the Register... Posted 10/08/99 7:01pm by Mike Magee Intel: 133MHz FSB plot to thicken sooner than thought Sources which in the course of their business have to be very close to Intel are reporting that 600MHz Pentium IIIs and 533MHz Pentium IIIs will arrive on August 23rd at prices of around $675 and $370 respectively. According to other sources close to these plans, Intel will release its Vancouver motherboard early September using the 820 chipset to replace the SE440BX-2 Seattle mobo. Intel will put jumpers on this mobo to allow machines to be configured to switch between RDRAM modules and PC-133 modules, the source said. The moves, if our sources are correct, will allow Intel another strike against AMD and its famous Athlon processor. We have already reported here that there will be unexpected price reductions come the 22nd of this month. No one from Intel was available to not comment on the reports at press time. ©

Intel will not let Athlon get a foothold. Prepare for a terrific price war, if you are a buyer. Intel has already set the stage for Coppermine to be a "reasonably" priced product. Dell has some leverage with Intel by holding out Athlon as an option, which I am sure Intel will make it worth their while not to exercise. All of this noise should be good for Rambus, as it is something else for Intel to "sell" in the battle.

Gateway walks away from Athlon Gateway has done a U-turn over its plans to launch an Athlon-based PC. The world?s second largest direct selling PC vendor was tipped to build systems based on the Athlon, but two weeks ago mysteriously reversed its decision, according to Forbes. richard to borrow a phrase from you... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great night! gateway leaks intel support... intel leaks rambus support.. a few more drips for my river. unclewest gone fishing...right now...off-shore
