Re: "I remember hearing Q2 for Mobile Tualatins .." Well - here's an Intel "roadmap" from early April of this year - indicating that Tualatin was on schedule for Q3 2001. I'd say Intel is dead-nuts on to this schedule - if not a little AHEAD of that Roadmap - xbitlabs.com Monday, April 09, 2001 New Intel's Roadmap Details [7:10 am] Rat This Chinese site today posted some additional info on Intel’s plans concerning Pentium 4 promotion. Here are some major ideas for you: By the end of 2000, the frequency of Intel Pentium 4 processor will reach 2GHz. There will be two different Pentium 4 processors in the market then: 0.18 micron Pentium 4 on Willamette core and 0.13 micron Pentium 4 on Northwood core. Both CPUs will be designed for Socket478 interface. Northwood however, will have a twice as large L2 cache equal to 512KB. 2GHz will be the maximum core frequency for Pentium 4 based on Willamette core. This CPU will be released in Q3 and will cost $562 (at launch) . The Pentium 4 CPU based on Northwood core will debut in mid Q4 and will have the starting core frequency equal to 2.2GHz. In Q2’02 we expect Northwood 2.4GHz to come out. According to Intel's roadmap, Tualatin Pentium III will be announced in Q3 2001. There will be three CPU versions with the following core frequencies: 1.13GHz, 1.2GHz and 1.26GHz. However, the mainboard manufacturers do not think that this CPU will be popular because by the time it is launched Intel Pentium 4 will already cost considerably cheaper than Pentium III Tualatin. So, once again we see that the info about Intel staking its Pentium 4 as a favorite of 2001 is absolutely true. Intel wants its CPU market to be divided into three equal parts by the end of the year: 33% for Intel Celeron CPU, 33% for Intel Pentium III and 33% for Intel Pentium 4. We would like to thank Zaggi, who was so kind to provide us with this info.
