PCs based on Intel's 'Deschutes' pre-announced by Taiwan firms By Mark LaPedus 1/16/98 TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Several Taiwan notebook makers have jumped the gun, announcing products based on a yet-to-be-introduced mobile version of Intel Corp.'s Pentium II chip, code-named "Deschutes." Acer Inc., Clevo Co., Twinhead International Inc., and other Taiwan notebook makers this year promised to begin shipments of products based on Deschutes--a Pentium II-level chip that will come in 233-, 266-, and 300-MHz speed grades. Processor prices range from $500 to $900, depending on the product, according to sources in Taiwan. A spokesman for Intel's Taiwan subsidiary said the companyt could not comment on unannounced products, but some sources believe the U.S. processor giant will introduce Deschutes in the next month or two. One local company, however, said it will show its first Deschutes-based notebook to OEM customers as early as next month. One of the models being shown to OEM customers is built around a 266-MHz processor, Intel's 440BX chipset, and 512-kilobits of L2 cache---all of which are bundled and sold in the U.S. company's mobile module format. The notebook itself incorporates 64-Mit DRAMs, a DVD-ROM drive, a 4.1-gigabyte hard drive, and will sell for a lofty $4,000.
