ALL MAJOR OEMS will use Celeron even Dell...See last paragraph. joey Intel Steps Up Plans For Its Celeron Chip (06/08/98; 10:49 a.m. ET) By Mary Hayes, InformationWeek Intel accelerated the road map for its Celeron chip, and will announce details of a 300-MHz Celeron chip June 8, company officials said. The analyst community has scrutinized the performance of Intel's (company profile) first Celeron, a 266-MHz chip for low-cost computers that was introduced in April. Because the current Celeron design does not have Level 2 cache, which is a special type of high-speed memory, it is considerably slower in performance than Pentium II chips with comparable clock speeds. The 266-MHz Celeron, for example, is on par with an older Intel chip, the 233-MHz Pentium MMX. The 300-MHz Celeron will offer a slight improvement, with a 10 percent to 15 percent increase in clock speed over the previous generation of the chip. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel had initially planned to offer a considerably faster 300-MHz Celeron with L2 cache later this year. Instead, the company will offer a chip without cache, but a faster clock speed now, and a 300-MHz Celeron with cache in the fourth quarter, a spokeswoman said. All the major PC vendors are expected to offer systems based on the 300-MHz Celeron in low-cost PCs next month. Dell, for example, plans to offer a system featuring the new chip in early July, company executives said last week.

A low cost monitor with every Celeron??? For an Intel type sale, the monitor would have .39 pitch. We would have Paul give testimonials as to how an Intel CPU with a .39 pitch monitor was better than a K6 with a .25 pitch monitor because of the physics of the AGP slot on Intel MB's. The thread would spend a month and a half discussing whether this Intel superiority would finally kill off AMD only to have Paul declare AMD was dead already. By then the monitor inventory would be depleted. Then Intel would announce its earnings, bring the thread back to reality for a few nano-seconds and we would hear from Paul how there was no inventory of MMX chips. (Could it be they didn't ramp up PII manufacturing from 25% at the end of last year fast enough? Don't even entertain the thought.) ==================== Just put your venture capital into the white envelope Larry.
