Paul, thanks for 333PII article. "These products will be available immediately..." That's music to my ears :-)

Paul,

RE-shipping a 333 MHZ Pentium II (Deschutes) in a server

I think it's mis-print. It must be 233 MHZ P II, not 333P II.

Paul and thread,

I don't know if this was ever posted here so I'll post it - a two part interview with Andy Grove on 10/13/97 that was at Upside.com:

Part 1
upside.com

Part 2
upside.com

A few tidbits:

"Entertainment requires visual quality; visual quality equates to microprocessor performance. So a major mission of ours is to make the PC more prominent-as a port of choice for entertainment software. "

"the kind of stuff where somebody reaches out from the screen and hits your head against the chair, 100 feet away. This is high-class technology, but all that stuff is going to be available on desktop PCs within a few years."

"I think that nothing's going to touch the kind of machines that the Pentium II dual-independent bus structure/accelerated graphics port combination is going to bring. I think it's going to put us in a different class"

"U.S. home penetration is a proxy for a broader issue. This is a global industry, so these same kinds of factors that have caused this market to explode to 40 percent in a matter of a few years are at work everywhere else. So if we win in the U.S., we win everywhere else."

"the Internet became a communications medium, an information medium, an entertainment medium, and probably got us from 30 percent to the 40 percent market penetration. And Internet business applications are likely to expand it another 40 percent."

"We worry about anybody doing anything in our core business that in any fashion could be seen as superior. There is no part of the microprocessor market that we're not interested in."
==============================================================

The whole interview is highly recommended reading IMO.

Barry

Paul is IBM a serious threat to INTEL? Have they announced some super fast processor that is due in the spring?Does the copper announcement negatively impact INTEL's competative position?
I have not seen much discussion that included IBM on this thread and they seem to be a more powerful force than AMD.
