Perhaps even more suprizing, however, is the appearance of a 1.3 GHz Pentium 4, a speed grade we thought we'd never see just a few months ago. It seems likely that Intel feels it needs to fill the gap between the 1.0 GHz Pentium III and 1.4 GHz Pentium 4 with something, regardless of whatever the relative per-MHz performance of these chips turns out to be. At the same time, the appearance of this chip might mean its performance is at least as good as the 1.0 GHz Pentium III, or in other words, better than some of the more pessimistic pre-release benchmarks we have seen. In either case, this chip is not expected to debut with the higher speed grades upon initial launch, but instead during the first quarter of next year. mPGA478, Northwood, and Brookdale Intel will begin the transition from the initial 423-pin Willamette Pentium 4 to a 478-pin mPGA package beginning in the third quarter of 2001, with Northwood following a quarter later in Q4. Intel's Pentium 4 SDRAM chipset, Brookdale, will be initially introduced in Q3 of 2001 with SDR support only, while a DDR-enabled version will make its way to the market during the first quarter of 2002. This is also the same timeframe in which Intel expects Pentium 4 sales to cross over into the mainstream computing segment anandtech.com

Paul, >Intel Investors - Otellini Commits - Monday will be the Pentium 4 launch !! Allright! Nailed this one (hope I'm not jumping the gun): Q4-2000 was the Intel goal. "We have an internal goal to accelerate that (crossover to Pentium 4) to late next year," Otellini said. That must speak to 0.13 and a lot of other things. To ensure a smooth transition, the company plans to convert five processor fabrication plants to manufacture the Pentium 4, Intel said. Help out my AMAT stock too, which needs it but still a 3 - 4 bagger BION on original purchase. Despite the higher cost, Otellini said, "I think you'll see very aggressive system prices. We've very happy with where they're starting, and they'll only come down." Systems on Monday? "It is my understanding that there are a lot of (third party Pentium 4 chipsets) in development," he said. With Intel's seal of approval, it is likely that some of these chip sets could ship as soon as the first quarter of 2000, analysts said after the briefing. Man, that would be soon!!! Tony
