McPanic - Re: "So that leaves a whole year (2000) that Intel may not be such a good bet? Or were you just talking about flash" That post discussed only Flash. Next year Intel will have a few other products to introduce besides Flash products. Paul

McPanic & Intel Investors - In case you're wondering where al the Coppermines are going, here's some more CLUES. Along with Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard today introduced a redesigned version of its slim OmniBook 900 with a 500-MHz Pentium III processor. The portable will also come with a 13-inch screen for the first time. The interested reader might observe that no PC manufacturer has ever introduced an AtHWIPE Notebook PC. Paul {==============================} Toshiba, HP offer new slim notebooks By Stephanie Miles and Michael Kanellos Staff Writers, CNET News.com December 6, 1999, 3:20 p.m. PT URL: news.cnet.com Toshiba introduced new corporate notebooks today, featuring the latest and greatest in mobile processors. Toshiba's new Tecra and Portege models run the latest Intel mobile Pentium IIIs and are designed for business users, the company said. In introducing the new systems, Toshiba is in step with the rest of PC makers, as most major manufacturers ready new Pentium III notebooks with larger displays and thinner cases. The new models reflect the industry's recent obsession with eye-catching designs achieved with silver magnesium cases and enlarged displays, as well as business buyers' love for consistent components for easy deployment across large companies. Along with Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard today introduced a redesigned version of its slim OmniBook 900 with a 500-MHz Pentium III processor. The portable will also come with a 13-inch screen for the first time. The new Portege 7140CT is 4.4-pounds and one-inch thick. Running on the Intel Pentium III at speeds up to 500MHz, the notebook also includes a 13.3-inch display. Offering options such as a 6 GB hard drive, 64 MB of memory and Windows NT, the $3,399 mini-notebook is targeted at image-conscious executives, according to Craig Marking, product manager at Toshiba. "It reflects on who they are--it says 'I'm successful,'" Marking said, noting that the new Portege also has been updated with a better screen and longer battery life. The new Tecra 8100 series is designed to appeal more to corporate budgets. The new notebook is based on the same design and components as previous versions, so that companies can easily integrate newer Tecras within existing networks of Toshiba computers. "It's evolutionary and revolutionary," Marking said of the new Tecra. "It's an island of stability in a sea of constant change," he said. The Tecra 8100, priced on a build-to-order basis, includes the Intel Pentium III processor, up to 256MBof memory, a 1.4-inch thick design, up to a 14.1-inch display and a DVD-ROM drive as an option. The Tecra 8100 also features a new leather grip on the case, for easy handling, Marking said. These notebooks are running on the fastest processors available until Intel releases new Pentium III notebook chips with "SpeedStep" technology on January 18. SpeedStep will allow a processor to run faster when plugged in than when running on battery power. A 600-MHz notebook Pentium III, coming in January, will run at close to 500 MHz when unplugged. The change is important because it will allow notebook makers to incorporate faster chips without compromising battery life, Intel executives and analysts have said.

Intel Investors (and FORMER ones) - ITanium/Mercedf Development systems are ROLLING OUT to Develpers and Customers !!! Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) the world's biggest computer chip maker, said on Monday it is shipping systems with prototypes of its new Itanium processor to hardware and software developers, so they develop Itanium-based products. Anybody ever seen an AMD 64 bit SludgeHammer system ? Paul {===========================} dailynews.yahoo.com Monday December 6 8:38 PM ET Intel Shipping Itanium Developer Systems SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) the world's biggest computer chip maker, said on Monday it is shipping systems with prototypes of its new Itanium processor to hardware and software developers, so they develop Itanium-based products. The Itanium chip, which is due in commercial volume by the middle of next year, is Intel's first processor to use its new 64-bit architecture, which processes data in chunks of 64 bits, instead of the standard 32 bit architecture it uses now. The Itanium and others in this new family will be initially targeted to the higher performance computing and workstation markets. In August, Intel announced that it has achieved ''first silicon,'' meaning it had built the first chips from the design of the new product. Now it is shipping servers and workstations with prototypes of the new chips to help speed the development of future computers and software to run on the new chips. Developers had previously been using emulation software that emulated the Itanium processor and its new architecture environment, for more than a year. ''We have made some pretty good progress over the past few months, since we achieved first silicon,'' said Ron Curry, director of marketing at Intel's IA-64 processing division. He said there are now six operating systems running on the new chip, including Microsoft Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) Windows 2000, Sun Microsystems Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:SUNW - news) Solaris and others. Curry said that Intel remains on track to begin volume production of Itanium processors for commercial use in the middle of 2000. ''Our objective is to keep the whole development program on track,'' he said. ''By being able to deliver these things as early as we are gives us very high confidence in delivering production processors and systems around the middle of next year.'' Earlier Stories
