Anandtech reviews the latest Coppermine processors:

As usual, the benchmarks show Coppermine ahead in some benchmarks, AMD Athlon ahead in others.

Notable quotes:

The good news is that the transition from 0.25-micron to 0.18-micron is going very smoothly. Part of the reason for this is because Intel started the transition to 0.18-micron very early on.

Intel has four of their fabrication plants primed and ready for the transition to 0.18-micron. By the end of Q1-2000 Intel predicts that half of their Pentium III processors will be the new 0.18-micron Pentium III E chips with that percentage climbing to 100% by the end of next year.

The 0.18-micron core also means quite a bit as far as overclocking potential is concerned. Our 733MHz sample had a nice time hovering around 800MHz and as Intel perfects their 0.18-micron process you can expect these CPUs to become very nice overclockers since they already run so very cool. We will be taking a closer look at the overclocking potential of the 0.18-micron process in the coming weeks.
