Re: "Am I correct in assuming that, other than ramping to 800 or 900 MHZ, this is it for Intel until Q3 of next year?"

How would I know? I'm just spreading BS and FUD. Ask Ten or PB.

Go ahead and keep underestimating the raw clock scalability of Coppermine.

Dan, <Am I correct in assuming that, other than ramping to 800 or 900 MHZ, this is it for Intel until Q3 of next year?>

Probably. By your own words, Intel could be surpassing the 900 MHz mark in Q3 of next year.

<Meanwhile Athlon has .18 AL coming this quarter, Virtual channel 133, and DDR coming for Q1. On chip cache, and copper interconnects coming by Q2.>

You realize, of course, that PC133 has to ramp up first before DDR. Q1 2000 for DDR is ridiculous.

As for on-chip cache, when did AMD ever announce that? I think AMD would be happy to yield enough Athlons without on-chip cache in their new Dresden fab before taking the next step. Q2 2000 for Athlon with on-chip cache is ridiculous.
