Mike Mageek talks about Tualatin introduction, chip sets, etc. "it appears that DP Tualatins using ServerWorks LE3 or Micron Copperhead chipsets and at initial speeds of 1.13GHz with 512K of cache, will get out of the starting gate earlier than we expected, and will be released in early-to-mid June, if not earlier. They will be followed by 1.26GHz and >1.26GHz Tualatins - again aimed at the DP server market. " Gee....maybe Intel has been using AMD's STOCKPILING tricks ! Paul {===========================} 213.219.40.69 Tualatin moves up an Intel roadmap notch Workstation Roadmaps Someone save Caminogate, Carmelgate! By Mike Magee, 7 May 2001 22.24 BST THE LATEST roadmaps for May, sighted over an Intel person's shoulder, show that when CEO Craig Barrett kicks the 1.7GHz Foster (Xeon) platform this week, he will deliberately shorten the life of the 820 and the 840 chipsets, which have provided us all with so much light relief for the last two years. But, and more significantly given the flak Intel has had over its .13 micron process, it appears that DP Tualatins using ServerWorks LE3 or Micron Copperhead chipsets and at initial speeds of 1.13GHz with 512K of cache, will get out of the starting gate earlier than we expected, and will be released in early-to-mid June, if not earlier. They will be followed by 1.26GHz and >1.26GHz Tualatins - again aimed at the DP server market. The roadmaps confirm that Intel will plonk the 1.7GHz Pentium 4s down as entry level boxed products for the volume and performance workstation market for the remainder of this quarter (Q2), and the world and its dog will applaud and bark as the 850 chipset then begings to support Northwood at speeds of 2GHz and 2.2GHz for the rest of the year. Q3 and Q4, the P4 will have the 478 pin chipset. Although the roadmaps show that Northwood remains on target for Q3 at 2GHz also using the 850 chipset, Intel now appears far more confident of rolling out the 2.2GHz Foster-Xeon on this platform early in Q4. Pentium IIIs in this kind of DP, quasi-server existence, will hang on stolidly and solidly until the end of the year, the current roadmaps show. Presumably Intel will knock them out at a very reasonable sort of a price. And they should run cool. At the high end - what Intel describes as the IA-32 family performance workstation mainstream, the Xeon using the 860 chipset and 2GHz microprocessors with 256K cache, rules the roost. µ * Sorry - got my NICs in a twist in an earlier rev of this story - and forgot Intel was positioning the 1.7GHz Pentium 4s as workstation engines.
