Paul, >Intel confirms Tualatin launches

Good, another high card in Intel's hand. I think he's wrong on this part though (last half of the statement):

Update Intel has confirmed that it will launch a 1.13GHz-256K Tualatin server chip tomorrow, as we predicted some time back, and, it has also confirmed this will be the only Tualatin server chip that will be enabled for dual server configurations. This vindicates an earlier story of ours, saying that it is unlikely to match the higher speed server Tualatins against its Dual Foster processors by disabling SMP in its faster rev Tualatins and those with 512K.

Ever see a server or a PC line with just one speed?

Tony

Re: Intel confirms Tualatin launches

The 10% to 25% speed increase, never reaching speeds as high as those its competitor has been shipping for months is eerily reminiscent of the .18 K6-3 launch, isn't it?

I notice Intel already cancelled one new FAB, it looks like the handwriting is on the wall - TooLate: won't scale in MHZ, Itanic: won't scale and too big, WiltingWillie: spins its MHZ but doesn't get anywhere.

Three strikes and you're out. Isn't much point in building more new FABs since it's turned out that Intel hasn't got anything worthwhile to make in them.
