No DDR support from INTC - by PTNEWELL Re: LINK for MTH failure RDRAM ONLY for by: ptnewell 9/29/00 5:24 pm Msg: 166129 of 166163 Guys: Intel has announced no plans for a DDR chipset for the Pentium 4, at least at the desktop level. This is a fantasy propagated by McComas and other members of Team DDR. The Brookdale chipset for the Pentium 4 will use PC133. It will come out in the second half of next year. Given the deep troubles AMD and VIA could be in within Intel support of DDR, it would not be logical for Intel to help them out by making DDR a standard product, instead of an expensive product. Whoever goes first on DDR will incur heavy costs. It is impossible to introduce a radically new memory and not have it expensive, at least initially. No, scrapping the MTH (or the memory control hub) does not mean that the PC133 SDRAM Brookdale chipset for the Pentium 4 is now scrapped. If you have two completely different chipsets you can use two different memories. The Williamette chipset will support RDRAM plus the Pentium 4. The Brookdale chipset will support PC133 plus the Pentium 4. Intel, like other rational thinkers, still has severe doubts whether DDR is even practical in a desktop, and they certainly have not announced any DDR desktop product.

Friday September 29 6:33 PM ET Intel Sees Pentium 4 Launch by End of Year NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chipmaker Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) said on Friday it plans to ship its long-awaited Pentium 4 processors by the end of the year, following a report that some of its clients are frustrated by delays. ``The target that we've given is the second half of the year, and that's still the case,'' said Intel's director of public relations, Tom Waldrop. ``We haven't publicly given a specific date. We have of course communicated with our customers.'' According to CNET Networks, personal computer makers have complained that Intel has delayed delivery of the Pentium 4 processor. CNET reported on its Web site on Thursday that the unidentified sources said Intel's planned Oct 30 release date has been postponed until the week of Nov 20 and possibly later. One PC maker said Intel was unable to give a firm date for the processor's release. Others said Intel had told them absolutely it would ship three weeks late. A week ago, Intel warned that third-quarter revenue would fall below forecast, sending its shares tumbling. Waldrop said he could not comment on business conditions as the company has observed a quiet period since last week's earnings pre-announcement. Shares of Intel fell $2-7/8 on Friday to close at $41-9/16 in Nasdaq trading. The stock's 52-week range is between $32-1/2 and $75-13/16. dailynews.yahoo.com Ö¿Ö
