Intel Investors - Intel's 0.18 Micron Products for 1999 are Revealed These are stated as being for the second half of 1999 - but Intel's Otellini implied first half for 0.18 process introduction. Either way, it appears that Intel is getting aggressive about bringing these products to market. Note that Coppermine (Notebooks) and Cascades (Workststions/Servers) will BOTH have KNI - Katmai New Instructions (these are 70 new double precision floating point "MMX" instructions). Paul {================================} Wednesday July 22 4:31 PM ET Intel adds faster chips PC Week By Lisa DiCarlo, ZDNet Intel Corp. said today it will introduce two .18-micron Pentium II processors in the second half of 1999. The news comes two days after Advanced Micro Devices Inc. announced it will introduce a copper-based chip in the first half of 2000. IBM Microelectronics, meanwhile, is expected to release a copper-based PowerPC as early as this year. One Intel processor, code-named Cascades, will be geared toward workstations and servers, while the other, code-named Coppermine, will be for notebook and desktop PCs. Both will include Katmai New Instructions, a set of integrated 3D instructions that should improve performance of high-end, graphics-intensive applications. Intel (INTC) will also produce a .18-micron version of Celeron, but that is not likely to hit the market until 2000, said Howard High, a spokesman for the Santa Clara, Calif., company. High declined to state clock speeds for Cascades and Coppermine, although he said it will be significantly higher than the top-of-the-line 400MHz Pentium II Xeon chips available today. AMD on Monday said it will reach 1GHz in the first half of 2000 with copper technology obtained through a cross-licensing deal with Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector. IBM (IBM), which demonstrated a copper-based 400MHz PowerPC in the first quarter of this year, will also build copper chips for high-end computers. The smaller .18-micron manufacturing process is significant for all chip makers because it enables them to churn out greater volumes of higher-performance chips at lower cost. Intel said it will complete the transition to .25 micron processors by the end of this year.
