Willy*, Willy, where are you?

More info about Willy and Intel's roadmap -

From hardocp.com Go to the website for more stuff I didn't paste.

"1. Solano 2 and Camino 2 renamed to 815e and 820e.

2. 1GHz PIII will come out in Q3'99. 933MHz in June(was Q4), 866/850MHz in Q1(was Q2). These guys are stepping up the pace a bit!! Here is a page that shows PIII 800s already for sale over seas. Thanks Kim!

3. NO PIIIs will be produced without 133MHz FSB after Q4.

4. Willamette and Foster speed up to 1.4GHz at introduction (was 1.1G and 1.2G).

5. Intel will use Celeron processor to compete with AMD K6 and K7, ICP(Intel Celeron processor) will pull-in 600MHz in March, 633/667 in April and 700 in May. It will offer end user a system under USD999 and use the same frequency than AMD's."

Wow - 1.4GHz. Gonna have to see it or hear Intel say it to believe it.

This may already be out of date because The Register is saying 933MHz in May.

And a link to a post at ACE's messageboard from someone who claims his brother works at Intel - aceshardware.com

Apparently Intel will demo it at the IDF in a couple of weeks.

* I have decided to TM Willy. Appropriate ways to refer to it include - "xxxx Willy (TM Cirruslvr) xxx" I hope this doesn't deter anyone's use of the name. ;)))
