TWY, <What do you mean by an "additional stepping"? Is this just Intel speak for shooting the gates smaller? My guess on Intel's release schedule has been: (barring any Athlon interference) > Additional stepping typically means mask sets (could be one or could be many depending on the need) <Nov 1 733MHz Feb 1 800MHz May 1 867MHz Aug 1 933MHz Oct 1 1000MHz (Wilamette) Could you give your guess on Intel's release schedule ..> Actually I think Intel can do a little better than 933MHz in Q3 - based on what I am hearing about 0.13. <..as well as AMDs ?? > I expect 800 or better in Jan; 900 or better by March; and 1G by early to mid Q2. Assuming Dresden is up and running, by the time Q3 is done we should be talking 1.2-1.4G. IMHO, Intel may not have much on AMD without 0.13. Chuck

Ref-<My guess on Intel's release schedule has been: (barring any Athlon interference) Nov 1 733MHz Feb 1 800MHz May 1 867MHz Aug 1 933MHz Oct 1 1000MHz (Wilamette) > The ISSCC 90 abstracts describes a IA-32 processor at 1GHz at room temperature. Given the fact that Willamette has not taped out,this paper has to describe a Coppermine or its derivative. This means that Intel has had Coppermine running at 1Ghz RT for a few months. Will this affect your guess for the Intel's MHz schedule ? Regards.
