Scumbria, Re: "A functional 500 MHz Katmai processor?????"

Why not. Maybe the blue plastic was actually blue ice to cool it down (for those that remember the fun with Albert freaking out when Intel was using a refrigerator to cool a Pentium II prototype running at 450 MHz a couple of years ago). Or was it Fuchi, RayW, Sherlie, whatever?

Maybe Paul knows if Intel has a couple of working Katmais right now.

Scumbria,

A functional 500 MHz Katmai processor?????

You'll be surprised, Scumbria. Intel already has plenty of samples of these chips all around, internally as well as externally.

Why they don't just release these chips right now is beyond me. Perhaps the final barriers preventing volume Katmai production are still being dealt with at the moment?
