9:41AM Intel to place wireless LAN orders to Taiwan manufacturers (INTC) 18.13: -- Update -- Digitimes.com reports that INTC will visit Taiwan soon to source mini-PCI modules, which will use the co's latest wireless LAN chipsets designed to work with new "Banias" mobile processors; to date, INTC has adopted chips from ISIL and Atheros for 802.11b and 802.11a products, but demonstrated its own chipsets in June; in addition, sources tell Digitimes that since INTC's WLAN chips are still in an early stage of development, shipments could be pushed back to mid-2003. (See archive for more on the long-running INTC/ISIL WLAN story.)

Re: although I try not to resort to badmouthing people on the forums LOL!! That's right, attack the messenger, not the message. I've had a link to that review for a long time. If you'd actually read my post, you'd see that, repeatedly, I suggested that anyone considering a new server test their actual applications - something that you are clearly eager to talk him out of. Why would that be? Why is Intel so afraid of potential buyers evaluating their application workloads on AMD servers? Why did Intel find it so necessary to go to such extreme measures to distort the BAPCO benchmarks? We'd all be so much better off if Intel would just spend half as much time and money designing products as they do manipulating benchmarks. If Intel would design adequate products in the first place, they wouldn't have to fake the benchmarks and spend so much time trying to talk people out of evaluating non-intel systems. And they wouldn't have a class action lawsuit pending against them for misrepresenting the performance of P4.

"Any objective person can easily see that Intel's competitive performance has improved greatly with newer products." What??? Intel is merely catching up, and is not "miles ahead" as your posts usually imply? You are making some progress, wanna...<ggg> - Ali
