GB - <I am amazed that Intel have still not displayed any fast processors.>

What planet have you been on?

Your ship comes in Monday, at Intel Developers Forum in Palm Springs. Intel typically debuts and demos products in that semi-annual forum.

Oh yeah, by fast I take it you mean over 1GHz. 800 is pretty slow.

Re: "I am amazed that Intel have still not displayed any fast processors."

Gopher, wake up!

Up to a couple of days ago you could have said the same thing about AMD. I expect you will see a fast demo next week. As you know, AMD demo'd a 1.1 GHz Athlon this week. However it was not manufactured on their Al production process. That may be significant. Intel will show something next week based on their standard production process and whatever they show, it would not be unreasonable to think that it may be representative of material now flowing thru their fabs. AMD can not make the same claim, at least not based on their demo, unless Copper Athlons are production worthy, a claim that has not been made before.

Re: "If Willamette is well ahead of schedule - first silicon just booted and ran - amazing speeds for pre-production - then why still only foils?"

"Slick Willamette" -- lots of promises, little substance.
