John, Apparently Intel is not satisfied with their zero presence in the retail market at 1GHz, and now plan on adding zero presence of 1.1GHz systems. According to Tom, it may be a good thing that the 1.1GHz chips don't actually exist, because apparently they don't work either. What is going on with Intel's management? They are behaving like a bunch of rank amateurs. Scumbria Ummm.. Scumbria, I don't mean to sound rude, because for the most part, your posts seem to be relatively unbiased, but may I ask you a question about your "apparently they don't work either.? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? Sheesh... These 4 OTHER sites ALL had NO ISSUE running their 1.13GHZ Chips: sharkyextreme.com anandtech.com gamersdepot.com planethardware.com But of course, if Tom's Hardware Guide can't get HIS running, than there MUST be a problem with the chip. Can't possibly be that there's something wrong with his set-up? Ya think.....? Hummmmmm....??? But of course, I'm sure that you had NO INTENTION of saying that just to bait anyone here into a flame war. Good thing I have Facts instead of Speculation. You're welcome. :-) SemiconEng

Scumbria, re: "Apparently Intel is not satisfied with their zero presence in the retail market at 1GHz, and now plan on adding zero presence of 1.1GHz systems. Intel doesn't sell into the retail marketplace, Intel's customers determine where a their PC's will be sold. I suspect that the 1GHz and now the 1.13GHz are pretty high ticket for retail, and the box makers figure that they are better off selling those systems into the corporate market, my guess is for premium dollars. re: According to Tom, it may be a good thing that the 1.1GHz chips don't actually exist, because apparently they don't work either. What is going on with Intel's management? They are behaving like a bunch of rank amateurs. Scumbria, do you really believe Tom over Intel? Do you really believe Intel would release a microprocessor that "doesn't work"? The "rank amateurs" comment is at least premature, wait until you get the facts. John

SCUMbria - re: "According to Tom, it may be a good thing that the 1.1GHz chips don't actually exist, because apparently they don't work either. What is going on with Intel's management? They are behaving like a bunch of rank amateurs. " Check your FACTS !! It is Tom Uberclockermeister that is behaving like a RANK AMATEUR. Anand and SharkyExtreme have both posted excellent reviews of the 1.13 GHz Pentium III. Clearly, Dr. Tom is out of place trying to test CPUs - he needs to go back to fixing infected feet. Paul
