[edit] Also nobody mentioned that Intel demoed a Brookdale SDRAM P4 system. Yes, Otellini said to 10 GHz. Notes from some guy on The Motley Fool: First PostFrom the Intel analysts meeting going on right now, Paul Otellini speaking: - "P4 extremely healthy, very very good yelds" - "2.0 GHz on 0.18 on track for P4 in Q301" - "P4 on 0.13 on track for Q401" - "PIII is running out of gas re MHz, as expected. New core (P4) will get to 10 GHz." Tune in if you get a chance, easy to get to from Intel's home page, start with Investor Relations. Need to register, no big deal. Or, look at it later at your convenience. Talking about Brookdale right now. Second postOtellini now demoing a P4 PC with an 845 or 850 chipset inside, said it would be ready for sale for Xmas. Third PostShould have said in my last post that the Brookdale chipset P4 had SDRAM for memory. DDRSDRAM will be supported by Brookdale later than SDRAM. Otellini went on to show slides that indicate the P4 ramp is running cheaper than PII was (I guess for those that think P4 is too expensive). I didn't get the metric used, but it's on a slide or 2. Talked about Tualatin mobiles (0.13) for H2, then a half-watt mobile. Transmeta will take note on the half watter. Fourth PostRe servers, Intel went from 9% of the greater than 4-ways at the end of 1999 to 34% at the end of 2000. Re performance, the top 6 TPC-C machines right now are all Intel based. That's not price/performance, that's performance, period. Price/performance is obviously all Intel, probably the top umpteen. Itanium to be released to production this quarter. Otellini showed some pilot machines from 2 way workstations, to servers at 4, 8, 16 way from people like Dell, CPQ, Fujitsu, SGI, and a 32 way capable Intanium from Unisys.
