Kash and Thread, Another article on IDF: sharkyextreme.com Here's a snip Odds & Ends Andy Grove has a new one-liner up his sleeve this year. He's pushing the "Power of 10" as opposed to "Moore's Law". Yay! So all's fair in love and war, right? Attendees with Basset Hound noses were able to track down AMD, who were showing off a very impressive 1.1Ghz Athlon with the new "Thunderbird" core (on-die L2 cache). Willamette will not harbor copper-interconnects (aluminum instead). Expect to see Intel get a grip on the .13micron process by 2001. Tehama is not only a National Park in Israel but also a chipset that will use RDRAM in conjunction with the "Willamette". If you are an online journalist (count yourself lucky) and are making your way down to Hanover Germany for this year's CeBit you'd best cancel your plans. Online journalists aren't going to be permitted. Fancy that? An ST Electronics representative did say that he'd 'seen the PowerVR Series 3 in action' and that it 'has the required low transistor count'. "Greendale" is yet another new chipset that will apparently use RDRAM The ratio of German journalists compared to Brits was at least 20:1. NVIDIA seemed to be winning the war in terms of their hardware being used on just about every booth/stand at IDF. Special brownie points for them then. Windows 2000 has 63,000 bugs.
