freeus and thread the future looks bright, INTC road map.. August 24, 1998, Issue: 697 Section: Top Of The Week -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel CPUs On The Map -- Integrated Graphics, 600-Mhz In Works Tom Davey Intel will formally launch its 300-MHz and 333-MHz Celeron processors for inexpensive desktops this week, but chips debuting in early 1999 will offer users who seek entry-level PCs even higher-power choices at lower prices. Not only will Intel deliver 366-MHz and 400-MHz Celerons with Level 2 cache, but industry sources say upcoming versions will handle graphics-processing duties that have so far required a separate chip or card. PC makers will also be able to attach the new Celeron directly to the motherboard rather than buy it on a card. These changes should help lower the cost of upcoming Celeron PCs; current 300-MHz and 333-MHz units sell for about $1,000. The 450-MHz Pentium IIs for high-end desktops introduced this week will give way to new Pentium IIs, code-named Katmai, in early 1999. Katmai systems will offer enhanced performance for 3-D applications, speech recognition, and video conferencing. Software developers have been working on business applications to take advantage of Katmai's new multimedia processing capabilities. The 500-MHz Katmai will be in desktops costing more than $2,000, and in workgroup servers. Versions of Katmai and Celeron will also be available for notebooks. Before the 64-bit Merced chip debuts, Intel's Xeon for midrange and high-end servers and workstations will be superceded by a chip code-named Tanner in the first quarter of 1999. That chip will run at 500 MHz and add Katmai's multimedia functions. By late 1999, the next generation, called Cascades, should debut at 600 MHz. Intel's plans for vendors to use its own blueprint to build standard eight-processor servers easily, cheaply, and in high volumes appear to be delayed, however. But Piper Jaffray analyst Ashok Kumar doesn't expect that to trouble users right now, because even four-processor systems have generated little demand so far. I predict that DELL will come out with Celeron based PC next year Greg
