Robert - Re: "I thought Tualatin was strictly a mobile CPU - is that not the case? Strictly from memory I thought Intel had only announced a mobile .13u CPU (but I may be in error). " Intel has made no official announcements on what products will be coming off the 0.13 micron line - although they have dropped many hints - a lot of which seem to have been "misinterpreted" by the press - probably due to the press trying to "divine the intent of Intel's hints".

Robert & Intel Investors - "In addition to its low-power 500MHz processor, which can operate at less than half a watt, Intel is showing off notebooks by major manufacturers running the 1GHz mobile Pentium III. The 1GHz Pentium III, built using the 0.18 micron process, is scheduled for release in the first half of next year. Among the PC makers demonstrating 1GHz Pentium III systems were Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM and Acer. Paul {================================} IBM shows off ThinkPad with new mobile P3 By Ken Popovich, eWEEK November 14, 2000 6:49 AM PT URL: zdnet.com LAS VEGAS -- Sorry, Transmeta Corp., but the prototype IBM ThinkPad 240 on display at Comdex here this week is powered by a Pentium III -- not a Crusoe -- processor. In June, Silicon Valley startup Transmeta proudly showed off an ultralight ThinkPad 240 notebook containing a 600MHz Crusoe processor, with IBM officials confirming that the PC maker planned to introduce a Crusoe-powered notebook by the end of the year. The apparent design win was significant for Transmeta, whose low-powered chips are designed to offer longer battery life for mobile and handheld products. Since introducing the Crusoe in January, Transmeta has secured contracts with Fujitsu, NEC and Sony Corp. to feature the Crusoe in ultralight notebooks, although it had yet to have its processor designed into a notebook by a major U.S. PC manufacturer. Then two weeks ago, IBM canceled those plans, choosing instead to utilize an as-yet-unreleased mobile 500MHz Pentium III from Intel Corp. that is said to offer power savings comparable to the Crusoe. Showing off 1GHz mobile Pentium III Although IBM executives have said they are still considering using the Crusoe in an upcoming product, sources said the company is hesitant to go with the unproven processor due to its slower performance in standard benchmark tests. "Our marketing guys were concerned that the benchmark scores would overshadow what we believe is our overall product value," said one IBM executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "I don't think that we're alone in that assumption. I suspect other top-tier players will stay on the sidelines for now as well to see how this thing plays out." In addition to its low-power 500MHz processor, which can operate at less than half a watt, Intel is showing off notebooks by major manufacturers running the 1GHz mobile Pentium III. The 1GHz Pentium III, built using the 0.18 micron process, is scheduled for release in the first half of next year. Among the PC makers demonstrating 1GHz Pentium III systems were Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM and Acer.
