Chuck - RE: "<GHZ Athlon mobile in 3-4 months.> Some people have been suggesting about this for a while now ;-) The time for Athlon to kick some major PIII butt in the laptop scene is fast approaching." Wow, 1GHz in a laptop this year sure would be something! I guess AMD expects Athlon power consumption to go down a lot with mobile Mustang. This roadmap watch.impress.co.jp says 850 Speedstep is supposed to be the max for Intel this year. And I thought that was impressive! I can't wait to see what AMD will be able to offer late this year. But I still think getting a 2-way (and more) chipset out is very important. ;)

Chuck, This is music. Posted 16/03/2000 12:11pm by Mike Magee Intel 866, 850 prices arrive next Monday The 866MHz and 850MHz Pentium III Coppermines which Intel delayed so it could rush a 1GHz processor out of the door will be formally announced next Monday. The prices are around $760/1000 and $660/1000 respectively, but sources both in the channel and at second tier OEMs suspect that they won't be able to supply systems using the processors for quite some time. As with the 1GHz microprocessor, supplies are likely to go to the Dells, Compaqs, HPs and IBMs of this world before they percolate down to smaller system builders and to distributors and dealers. One OEM who declined to be named said: "AMD is chasing Intel down now. Sales of Athlons now represent over 80 per cent of out slot based systems." Intel will not comment on unannounced products.
