hmaly, Re: "Reportedly OEMs pressured the chip giant to snuff the chip after seeing convincing benchmark results demonstrating that dual 1.2GHz Pentium IIIs soundly and consistently beat dual 2 GHz Xeon servers based on the Willamette core. <<<<<<<< Do you disagree with the OEM part in that the OEM's quashed the 2ghz because it was too slow; instead you believe Intel itself quashed the chip because it was too slow."

No. I disagree with the claim that Intel has cancelled the chip at all. In fact, they released it a week or so ago, but just for the workstation market. I think calling it a "server" chip would require a "server" chipset, and DDR server chipsets are due out next quarter. Essentially, though, it is the same chip.

Oops. Van goofed again.

<Although Intel could easily introduce 1.5 GHz and perhaps even faster Tualatin PIII’s, the semiconductor firm has locked its fate with the P4 as it attempts to market megahertz over MIPS.>

This is why the Tualatin 1.2GHz Celeron is easily overclocked to 1.5GHz. Intel is down-binning them not to humiliate P4. This is a stupidity of the highest degree.

Thank you Intel. Don't change a thing.
