Thanks for the word from Germany Andre, and the posting from the Motley Fool Board. If that message is accurate (and that is a big "if" because the AMD official should never have disclosed the information he did), forget about the 1Q earnings. I love the part about Dresden using its entire production capacity on the Thunderbird in 2Q.

Article translated "Gigahertz Pentium III is called only air Intels hottest iron in the processor market, the previous week introduced Pentium III with 1 GHz clock frequency, is in Europe not yet to view. " limited the Quantities " specified by Intel here obviously is about zero. The German Intel branch about does not have not one gigahertz processor available for test purposes. Unisono sounds it also from the numbers of the PC houses: Not even in the laboratories one has here a GHz Pentium III, was reported from HP in Boeblingen. At the earliest one can offer at the beginning of of April first systems in Europe, indicated Dell. " nothing to make " was the also lapidary information at IBM Intel competitor AMD however could already by day the conception stably running 1-GHz-Testsysteme deliver. Intels " Launch partners " in contrast to this seem to be still far to be able to offer functioning systems. A reason for it might have to be looked up also in the complex cooling, the processor required. Because after Intels specifications the hot iron may not become so hot by any means as before usual: According to data sheet only a junction temperature of max. 60 Cøis permitted (opposite 80øC with the Pentium III-800). This upper limit to keep, represents a substantial challenge to the cooling. With Dell about one will have to reequip only the placement robots for the processors, so that they can be busy with the special cooling systems. And in such a way so far only the realization remains from European view: Intels gigahertz processor is only once only hot air and the early conception obviously emerges as PR Show with the principal purpose, AMD by (allegedly) favourable prices the market to bad.
