1 gHz war not over, Intel says. This is where the real hi end action will be, 1gHz PIII with PC133. And at very good prices. And these parts will be a lot cheaper next year. PIII will dominate the market share for a long time, IMO. theregister.co.uk

Joe, <Oh, excuse me, you are actually buying headroom, that you will never ever put to any use.> Speaking of which, that Thunderbird could really use some headroom in the memory bandwidth department! Why is it still not blowing away Coppermine in the benchmarks? Perhaps it's the lack of DDR or RDRAM chipsets available for Athlon? Tenchusatsu

Of course, anybody with an 820 system who upgrades to a P4 will be throwing their RIMMS away and buying new ones? The "hype" of last year positioned RDRAM systems at the high end, with promise of it moving into mainstream as prices of RDRAM come down, and systems containing Timna and Willamette appear. No change there and nothing has been disproved. The RMBS systems Tom and Intel tested were amongst the very high end of IA32 desktop computing arena. Of course the real high end of that arena wasn't tested. That would have involved Tom putting 2 P3's in his OR840 and running a benchmark.
