Paulie, looks like the beginning of the end for Intel segmentation strategy:

All units in the EN series will come with Intel processors ranging from the Pentium III at Megahertz speeds of 933, 866, 800, 733 and 667 and the 600MHz Celeron.

Using either a Celeron or a PIII in the same series. Until now, Intel has carefully segmented the market for its PIII and Celeron products.

And are these finally the 128K L2 CuMine Celerons? Or are they still MIA, forcing Intel to sell its huge die size 0.25µ Mendocino chips against AMD's high yield 0.18µ 100 mm Durons?

Paulie:

First AMD wrestled the top-end away from the once great Intel...and now AMD has clearly circled their wagons on the low-end and are about to take no prisoners with its Duron, the latest in an increasingly long string of market coups!

Frame your Compaq notice, Paulie...it'll provide evidence a year from now that at one time Intel really thought their aging PWeeIII could keep pace with AMD's new young champion, the "spry Athy"...
