Keeping the pressure on AMD:

Intel to offer boxed Pentium 4Ms this quarter

No balanced mobility here
By Mike Magee, 16/02/2002 17:29:24 BST

AS WE REPORTED here before, Intel will release its mobile Pentium 4Ms towards the end of this quarter, with the first processors being 1.70GHz, 1.60GHz, 1.50GHz and 1.40GHz chips.
Intel sells its microprocessors to large PC customers in trays, and in boxed systems for its distributors and systems integrators to put together into notebook machines.

But it will also release these chips to its distributor and system integrator channel partners, the latest roadmaps show, with the 1.80GHz CPU being released in Q2.

Top end re-branded notebooks from second and third tier players will cost around $3,000 or more.

These mobile CPUs will come with 512K of cache, be made using the .13 micron process, and use the 400MHz PSB. They are all supported by the 845MP/MZ chipsets.

The roadmaps indicate that system integrators and Intel are being offered comprehensive chassis and heatsink support from their original design manufacturers (ODMs) in Asia, particularly in Taiwan.

Those plans are already far advanced.


On the value side of the market, Intel will introduce 1.20GHz mobile Celerons using the 133MHz PSB in Q2, and will up the speed of those processors to 1.33Ghz by Q3, with these processors having 256K of cache.

The distributors and dealers do not appear to have the same options as the larger PC customers - in that case Intel is maintaining two separate roadmaps in its "balanced mobility" notebook roadmap, the latter having Pentium III-M .13 micron cores. µ
