TG, I'll do it, but "internal memory" will dominate. Scumbria

TG, I did a search on "internal" and found this classic. Elmer dumped his AMD right before the run up. *********************************************************** Message 14848536 From: Elmer To: Windsock Re: "The reviewer specifically stated that a 1.2 GigaHumper was not available, from AMD or anyone else" I think it's safe to say Athlon has essentially hit it's ceiling. With P4 expected to hit 2GHz on the existing .18u process and AMD's .13u process delayed well beyond Intel's, I am very glad I dumped all my AMD weeks ago. I was expecting to see a 1.6GHz P4 today as an internal document claimed but no dice. Had Intel released it they probably would have the highest performance pro cessor in FP as well. Think what this thing will do when we see a 2Meg on-die L3 running at speeds above those released today.

It is an internal Intel post provided to me. It does not say "Intel confidential" so I will post it. I have witheld dates. "Intel Costa Rica has assembled the first High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) set of engineering units of the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor, which were delivered immediately to customers who will be testing them on their assembly lines. The Intel Pentium 4 Processor will be launched to the market on [edited out]. With this product, Intel expects to achieve a major leap in processor performance and capabilities. Running at speeds that range from 1.4 through 1.6 GHz, the Intel Pentium Processor 4 is the highest performance processor ever released by Intel" Scumbria

TG, Here is more evidence supporting Fuchi's assertion: ************************************************************* Message 15433921 From: Elmer To: Scumbria guys seem really nervous about P4 Why do you say that? It is not difficult to run a very aggressive lot, and sort out a part that runs at at elevated voltage 33% higher speed than your production yield point. Production 2GHz is an entirely different matter It is not difficult to go on to a forum and claim something can't be done. You insisted 1.5Ghz P4 production was out of the question and 3Ghz internal operation was equally impossible. Intel announced some time ago they would be shipping 2GHz P4s on .18u so what's the surprise? You seem worried... EP
