Stonehenge & Intel Investors - Mendocino Is Alive And Running in Taiwan This was posted as a URL but many seem to have missed the CONTENT. I will elaborate. Andy Grove (Remember Him?) is in Taiwan - on business, no less. During his visit, Andy demonstrated a PC running a Mendocino chip that was barely one week old - JUST OUT OF THE WAFER FAB and apparently FULLY FUNCTIONAL! As a refresher, the Mendocino is a Deschutes with on board 128 K L2 cache which will replace the original Deschutes (WITHOUT L2 cache) as the first Celeron device. Here is the article - not the SLot 2 XEON Demonstrations as well! {==============================} infoworld.com Intel demonstrates future Celeron, Xeon processors in Taiwan By Terho Uimonen InfoWorld Electric Posted at 5:12 PM PT, May 11, 1998 TAIPEI - Intel Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andy Grove gave Asian computer industry executives a sneak peak at future Celeron and Pentium II Xeon processors running at speeds as fast as 500 MHz here today during a keynote address at Intel's Asia-Pacific Technology Forum. Stressing the importance Intel is giving its new strategy of providing microprocessors to all segments of the PC market, Grove demonstrated systems running a 333 MHz version of the recently introduced Celeron family of processors targeted at low-cost PCs, as well as a high-end workstation powered by a 500-MHz Pentium II Xeon processor. Systems based on both processors should hit the market by the first half of 1999, Grove said. The 333-MHz Celeron chip, developed under the code-name Mendocino, also includes 128KB of performance-enhancing Level 2 cache memory on the same piece of silicon as the processor core, Grove said, as opposed to the first 266-MHz version of the Celeron family which was introduced in April without any Level 2 cache. Prior to introducing the 333-MHz Celeron, however, Intel will first come out with a 300-MHz version of the chip which also will include the on-chip Level 2 cache memory, noted Grove. The first Pentium II Xeon chips, meanwhile, will be introduced later this year, running at clock-speeds of 400 MHz and 450 MHz, Grove said. The Xeon chips will be targeted squarely at high-end servers and workstations, and will come in a new cartridge packaging that will fit into a new interface architecture dubbed Slot 2. To further boost the performance of the Xeon processors, the 400-MHz and 450-MHz version cartridges will include as much as 1MB of Level 2 cache memory, Grove said.
