Jim - Re: "I will have to call Dell immediately and cancel my 800-MHz, I just hope it hasn't shipped yet. I want to hold off a month and get the 866-MHz now" Good idea. Don't forget to let KalKan know about the faster Coppermines ! Paul

Diamond Jim, <I will have to call Dell immediately and cancel my 800-MHz, I just hope it hasn't shipped yet. I want to hold off a month and get the 866-MHz now.> And what happens if Intel decides to pull in the schedule for 933 MHz Pentium III's? Want to wait another month after that? ;-O Speaking of which, I wonder about all of those poor chaps who were told by the salesmen a year ago that no one would need anything more than a 300 MHz K6-2?

The Entire Tech Week in a Single Email Saturday, December 25, 1999 THE WEEK IN REVIEW: Intel moves decisively At the end of a year which featured a federal antitrust settlement, Intel has been moving decisively to preserve its commanding lead in the processor industry. The chipmaking giant released a faster version of its top-end PC processor ahead of its original schedule, reacting to the perceived momentum of rival Advanced Micro Devices, and set plans to accelerate its product schedule for 2000. Additionally, Intel reorganized to create a division for wireless products, to better tap into one of technology's hottest sectors. Faster Monday, Intel unveiled 750- and 800-MHz versions of the Pentium III, reclaiming the PC processor speed crown from AMD. But few of the new chips, originally scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2000, have been shipped to PC makers, meaning consumers won't see many top-speed computers until next year. Intel has historically made certain manufacturers were well-supplied upon the debut of new products. 2.digital.cnet.com The hasty launch endeavors to counter AMD's success with Athlon, a Pentium III competitor that has received rave reviews. AMD released a 750-MHz version of the chip late last month, and is expected to come out with an 800-MHz Athlon early next month. Intel's accelerated "road map" for 2000 calls for introducing 850- and 866-MHz Pentium IIIs in the year's first quarter, and a landmark 1-GHz Pentium III in the fourth quarter. Celeron, the processor for budget computers, will rise to speeds of 633 MHz but the development pace will slow in comparison, as Intel wants to ensure Celerons don't compete with the high-end Pentium IIIs. A processor with integrated graphics capabilities, code-named Timna, will debut at the end of the third quarter at 600 MHz. 2.digital.cnet.com Meanwhile, the new Wireless Communications and Computing Group will manufacture and design flash memory and digital signal processors, used extensively in cell phones, and related limited-purpose products. The push to diversify beyond its traditional base of PC and server microprocessors is motivated largely by a growing sense that the revenue stream and profit margins from computer sales has slowed, according to analysts. Ironically, Intel has long manufactured flash memory chips and other semiconductors for communications devices.
