The week in review: Intel moves decisively By: Kurt Oeler, CNET News.com 12/24/99 5:59:00 AM Source: News.com Closing a year which featured the settlement of a federal antitrust case, several product delays, and increased pressure from competitors, Intel moved decisively to reassert its lead in the processor industry. The chipmaking giant released two Pentium III processors ahead of its original schedule, reacting to the recent momentum of rival Advanced Micro Devices, and set plans to accelerate its product schedule for 2000. Additionally, Intel reorganized itself 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 to reclaim the PC processor speed crown from AMD. The advanced release wasn't an unqualified success, however. 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 systems until next year. The lead may also be tenuous, as AMD 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. A processor with integrated graphics capabilities, code-named Timna, will debut at the end of the third quarter at 600 MHz. Meanwhile, the new Wireless Communications and Computing Group will manufacture and design flash memory and digital signal processors, used in cell phones and other appliances. Intel has made some of these types of chips for years, but organizing these into a unified group is intended to concentrate resources in a more coherent manner. Acquisitions are likely. Intel is currently in the midst of a push to diversify beyond its traditional base of PC and server microprocessors and sell more products into markets such as communications.

Companies use Suns and Unix boxes for mission critical applications as they tend to scale better and crash less than WinTel servers.

Possibly Alpharetta, Ga (10 m. North of Atlanta)(has two AT&T supercomputers in town), but it could be Marietta, Ga (11 m. NW of Atlanta.

Tony: E-Trade operations located in Alpharetta, Georgia Amaretto is best for Italian sponge cakes and the like <gg>. Just now looking at old posts after a wicked case of bronchitis that hit before Christmas. Recovering little by little. Thanks for the report from the E-Trade stockholders meeting and your thoughts on Sun and Intel as Itanium moves up the chain. Hope you and everyone on the thread are still counting their blessings and enjoying the holidays...even if a little work has to be done this week. On to catch up on the SI posts. dmf
