"P4 inventory could have a severe impact on Intel's Q2 figures." theregister.co.uk 'Waiting for i845' syndrome lands Intel with P4 glut By John Lettice Posted: 09/07/2001 at 15:21 GMT Sources in Silicon Valley claim Intel is facing a nightmare glut of P4s, as cannier buyers hold off pending the arrival of the i845 chipset and the associated cheaper memory. The i845, due in the middle of this quarter, will initially allow you to use PC133 rather than RDRAM, and considering the ramifications of that one might speculate that the canniest of canny buyers will simply hold off some more, and wait for DDR. According to our sources, the P4 inventory could have a severe impact on Intel's Q2 figures, due on 17th July. The i845 with PC133 support may have some impact after that, but tagging geriatric PC133 SDRAM technology onto the P4 can't exactly be what the designers of Intel's 'state of the art' had in mind. Over at Tom's Hardware Dr Tom himself a DigiTmes piece which observes that "with the announcement of Intel 845 chipset, which supports PC 133 and DDR SDRAM, and the introduction of 478-pin Pentium 4 processors, Intel was expected to correct its decision to just support to RDRAM." But not yet? ®
