a little clip from bw today. guess we know what they want for memory in these hot machines. Pentium IIs are used in 97% of all PCs priced over $1,500, according to researcher Dataquest Inc. Intel has no intention of losing that franchise: In 1999, it will roll out zippier Pentium II chips that also include new features for speeding up 3-D graphics. OVERSEAS OPENING. Intel's plans for Xeon are no less ambitious. The company will debut faster models--offering speeds of over 600 megahertz--throughout 1999, in a bid to continue gaining market share in servers and workstations. International Data Corp. says Intel already has nearly 100% unit share in servers costing $10,000 and below. By 2002, it will have captured a majority of servers priced up to $100,000, according to IDC. Then there's the global market. AMD and National have given up international market share to gain business in the higher-profile U.S. market. That has opened the field to Intel, which has beefed up overseas marketing in places such as China and Latin America--reaping big sales gains around the globe. With PC growth in emerging markets expected to outpace domestic growth by 14% in 1999, Intel stands to profit handsomely. If the Chengdu computer fair is any indication, Intel still has a lot of gold to mine from PC processors.
