Ya'll know that it now is the UNDISPUTED GOSPEL TRUTH ! Like, what else would YUKzilla report ? And the YUKZilla Register even reported where THEY stole the STORY FROM ! Kinda makes you want to Cringe - eh, Cringe ? Paul {=======================================}theregister.co.uk Posted 18/12/99 6:53pm by Mike Magee Intel CuMine chips pre-announced, pre-announced again We knew for some time that Intel would talk about a 800MHz processor on Monday, and for a longer time yet that it had a 750MHz Pentium III and some other Coppermines in its pipeline. But now due to the awesome power of the Web, a customer of another news service (Reuters) seems to have completed the parts of the jigsaw by accidentally posting a story meant for Monday's newspapers, late yesterday. According to the piece, Intel will say it is actually shipping 800MHz Pentium III Coppermines, but only one or two will launch machines, which are unlikely to arrive for another 30 days at least. Dell is likely to announce (shurely pre-announce, Ed) the 800MHz Pentium III, but it will be some time before people will get their mitts on them. Last week we reported that many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) would only get limited samples of the 800MHz Pentium III on Monday next. The 800MHz Coppermine will cost $850/1000, while the 750MHz parts will cost $800/1000, according to our own sources. It's still pretty hard to get hold of the 733MHz Pentium III Coppermine parts that Intel pre-announced on October 25th.
