Intel sets Pentium 4 path to 2GHz

The chip maker is counting on the Pentium 4 to pull it into the speed lead again. But, don't hold your breath.

Expect Intel Corp. to pump out more megahertz as it attempts to get its processors back on track next year.

The chip maker plans to launch the Pentium 4 next month, then push the chip's clock speed beyond 2GHz by the middle of 2001. No small task for a company that's seen its last year marred by such gaffes as manufacturing-related chip shortages, 820 chip set problems, and Pentium III 1.13GHz recall. Rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE: AMD), meanwhile, has pulled squarely into the desktop chip speed lead.

Otellini said that the ramp on the P4 would be the fastest ever...

Jim, that's not true. He said it would be faster than the PII, but not faster than the PIII, because PIII was so close to the PII that it was easier. I listened to the CC and published this comment on the Intel board last Tuesday.
