At its semiannual developers conference next week, Intel will also outline plans for an aggressive push to even higher speeds for its Pentium 4 processors in the next several years. Analysts expect the world's largest chipmaker to introduce the 2 GHz Pentium 4 for $560 and a 1.9 GHz version for $375, prices for topofthe line processors that are much lower than in the past. As recently as a few years ago, Intel's speediest chip would come out at a price closer to $1,000, analysts said. Those prices will drop even further at the end of October, said analyst Mark Edelstone of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. He estimates that the 2 GHz Pentium 4 will tumble 28% to $400 and the 1.9 GHz chip will fall 27% to $275. The fastest Pentium 4 on the market now, which runs at 1.8 Ghz, costs $562.

3.0 GHz is a big jump - and a lower speed will be quicker and more easily achieved in "production models". I agree it's a big jump, but I think it would be cool to see... and it may not be as big a jump for the 0.13 micron process. I've seen the Tualatin overclocked to 1.4GHz at this point, which is a 40% increase over 0.18 micron... if they get the same bang on Northwood, which will soon be released at 2.0GHz on 0.18 micron, that would give a speed of around 2.8GHz... I know... different designs... different speedpaths... whole different ball of wax... I'm just rambling...

RE:"3.0 GHz is a big jump - and a lower speed will be quicker and more easily achieved in "production models"." Anything less than 3.5 Ghz be a major disapointment to me. I'm in and I'll raise you 500 Mhz... Jim
