TGPTNDR, Re: "1. So you are thinking the P4-Xeon is going to be OK on down the line -- and that the P-III will be retired from server activities within -- say -- a year?" Let me answer this one. I think Xeon chips will launch into servers along with the availability of high performance chipsets starting early next year. Tualatin, or rather the Pentium III-S, will stick around because there are some segments that require the lower power levels of this chip. With Banias in 2003, I think Tualatin will become obsolete. .09u Pentium 4 chips may occupy this segment as well, depending on how much better the power dissipation becomes. Pentium III still offers a value proposition, with compelling performance, and lower power. However, I think the highest performance will come from Hyperthreaded Xeons, and lowest power will come from Banias in 2003. wanna_bmw

Re: "So you are thinking the P4-Xeon is going to be OK on down the line -- and that the P-III will be retired from server activities within -- say -- a year?" No - the 0.13 Micron Pentium /// Server chip should be around for a VERY LONG time - for low power blade servers all the way up to 8-way SMP servers with large L2 cache. The Pentium 4 XEON version will coexist and fit into its own market niches where very high speed is required along with HyperThreading technology.
