Elmer, thread, don't think this one has been posted here yet. Intel's Louis Burns reiterated 2.0 GHz P4 will be available this month, plus he was quoted saying: ``We'll have some good news on DDR. We're not ready to talk about it yet,' he said. Intel to Start Selling Faster Pentium 4 This Month (Update2) By Cesca Antonelli Santa Clara, California, Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. will start selling a faster version of its Pentium 4 processor this month, as the biggest semiconductor maker tries to push the chip into a broader range of computers. The 2-gigahertz Pentium 4 will be available this month, Vice President Louis Burns said in an interview. Santa Clara, California-based Intel, whose top Pentium 4 now runs at 1.8GHz, previously said it would introduce the chip this quarter. Intel wants to boost acceptance of the processor, which was introduced in November. It has cut Pentium 4 prices by as much as 69 percent since then and plans additional reductions this year to lure personal-computer buyers during an industrywide slump. The chipmaker has added faster and slower models so users of faster computers and less-expensive systems can afford the chip. ``Customer reaction has been outstanding,' said Burns, who's heading the introduction of Pentium 4s. Intel is speeding up plans to sell more Pentium 4s than older Pentium IIIs. The company last month said it will introduce a new Pentium 4 chipset in the next few weeks, six weeks ahead of schedule. The chipset, which helps the processor communicate with the rest of the computer, uses a cheaper type of memory than the current model. Analysts have speculated that Intel will move up shipments of another chipset using faster, so-called double data-rate, or DDR, memory to the fourth quarter from the first quarter of 2002. Burns wouldn't say if that decision has been made. ``We'll have some good news on DDR. We're not ready to talk about it yet,' he said.
