Elmer - Was that Foster Presentation out of date? It mentioned a chip set that I believe is no longer on the Intel Road Map - as well as an 8-way ITanium Server platform that I have not yet heard of. Paul

Elmer & Intel Investors - Intel will RAISE THE BAR again for notebook CPUs - 850 MHz Pentium IIIs due next Monday. "Intel plans to release three new processors for notebook computers on Monday, including a mobile Pentium III that runs at 850MHz with the help of Intel's SpeedStep power management technology, sources said. " AMD's PowerBurner AthWIPER falls further and further behind ! Paul {=========================} infoworld.com Published at: Tuesday, Sep. 19, 2000 5:16 pm PT Intel to push notebooks to 850MHz, source says By James Niccolai GET READY FOR a little more speed on your notebook. Intel plans to release three new processors for notebook computers on Monday, including a mobile Pentium III that runs at 850MHz with the help of Intel's SpeedStep power management technology, sources said. SpeedStep allows Intel's mobile processors to operate at two levels of performance. When a notebook is plugged into a mains outlet, the processor runs at "full power mode." Away from the mains outlet, the processor automatically drops its clock speed, preserving battery life. The Santa Clara, California-based chip giant will launch two mobile Pentium IIIs on Monday, the source said. One of the chips will run at 850MHz in full-power mode, dropping to 700MHz when the notebook is running on batteries. The other chip runs at 800MHz in full-power mode, dropping to 650MHz away from the mains supply. Also on Monday, Intel will launch a mobile Celeron processor running at 700MHz, the source said. Intel's Celeron chips are aimed at more value-conscious buyers. Systems that use the new processors will be available on Monday from a handful of major notebook manufacturers, the source said. Companies who typically offer Intel's latest processors include Compaq Computer, Dell Computer, and IBM. Intel's fastest mobile Pentium III today runs at 750MHz, while the mobile Celeron line tops out at 650MHz. James Niccolai is a San Francisco-based senior correspondent for the IDG News Service, an InfoWorld affiliate.

Elmer - RE: "This Intel website may be showing something about Foster that Intel did not intend to make public at this time.." Good find! Looks like you found a pretty good leak. I'm surprised Intel has kept some of this info secret until now. "Jackson" technology, eh? I wonder if Willy has it. If it does that could be why it will limited to work in single processors systems. Even if Willy does it won't bring any gains to consumers who use Win98/ME unless Microsoft is doing Intel a favor and making Win ME multitreaded capable. The presentation says the code requires changes for Jackson technology to work. If they mean the apps then not every program will be able to take advantage of it. I think Paul is correct when he said the presentation is old. The presentation refers to RCC, aka Reliance Computer Corp, aka ServerWorks. RCC changed its name to Serverworks on Jan. 25 this year. According to the file properties the presentation was "created" in 1996, but it could have just been based on a template created then. The properties say the article was last printed on Jan. 12 this year. Click on File->Properties to see this. The presentation mentions only 1MB L3 cache. Probably because 2MB would be way too large for a .18 process. I wonder what Tony will say about only 1MB. I guess nothing.
