>No doubt about it, the Palomino is a SUPERB mobile CPU,< It appears to be, but I have not seen anything that confirms this, not even BatteryMark numbers. > better than anything Intel has a prayer of matching in the next two months. Although I think it will be 3 months before Tualatin will be at the same stage Athlon 4 is today, it is possible that Intel will be able to begin volume delivery in as little as one month. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. > Some changes apparently have to be made for it to be a higher MHz desktop chip than the TBird, but 1.4 GHz TBird's will "hold the fort" until a revised higher-MHz Pally is ready.< I'm not so sure on this. The desktop Palomino could be ready, but not needed yet. > Personally, I think a 2 GHz 0.18u P4 is a thermal impossibility and 0.13 P4's won't arrive until the end of the year at best.< I think that Intel can ship a 2.0 GHz P4, but it will be virtually impossible to hide the clock throttling. I look for Northwood to be out at only half of Intel's planned volume in Q1 2002. > And I don't think mobile Tualatins will arrive until August, and their top speed will be 1.26 GHz. The mobile A4's will be able to exceed that, albeit at higher power.< I think mobile Tualatin will be announced in July and ship in volume in August. 1.26 GHz should be the top speed at least through November. Not only will mobile A4's consume more power at their peak speed grade, but more at the peak speed grade of mobile Tualatin. My guess is however, that Intel will not be able to ramp beyond 4 million Tualatins in Q4 2001. And they will only be able to hit 4 million in Q4 if Northwood is delayed until Q1 2002.
