Fuchi, Another window of opportunity for AMD? The 1999 release date may give archrival Advanced Micro Devices a leg up on Intel. That competitor is planning to release its first K6 3D processors, code-named Chompers, at the end of this quarter. A second generation of 3D technology will then be released by AMD in 1999. Regards, Tim

Fuchi, Another One! computers.com Those guys at Intel never stop slinging new chips. Fortunately, our reflexes are so quick we managed to catch the very first machines to ship with Intel's newest processor: the 266-MHz mobile Pentium with MMX. But let's say up front that we weren't astounded: these 266-equipped notebooks made baby performance steps. At best, these machines are only 5 percent faster than their 233-MHz predecessors; at worst, some 266-MHz bottom-feeders couldn't even keep up with the top 233-MHz machines. We were even more disappointed with the decreases in battery life caused by the 266-MHz chip's slightly higher core voltage. Regards, Tim
