Thread - re IDF announcements

Hey folks, it looks like other "major news" got buried under the Willamette bombshell...

"Dr. Grove also demonstrated the first production-level Pentium® III processor-based systems that run at 1 GHz, to be introduced in limited quantities shortly."

Not Q3, nope - NOW!

Intel will be first to offer gigahertz processing. This too is a stunning achievement.

I saw this during the talk... but the real surprise is what Albert mentioned during the end of the talk:

The entire Powerpoint presentation was running on a Willy. Think of it. First silicon and they're betting the entire presentation on the chip. It's one thing to make a quicky 2 minute demo and say "wow, that's fast"

it's another thing to use it for a couple of hours.

In my mind, that's the important news.

Having fun in Palm Springs...
