Re: "The Pentium III architecture will be able to go up the 800-MHz range with the current process, and with further process enhancements it will reach the 1-GHz range" If the PIII will hit 1 Ghz on .18u, imagine what Willamette will do... EP

The company will officially introduce its desktop Pentium III next month, at 450- and 500-MHz speeds. The first chip to utilize the 0.18-micron process will be the mobile Pentium III, with speeds in the 600 MHz range, which will be launched this summer. By the end of this year, both the mobile and desktop Pentium III chips should be closing in on 800 MHz. I am confused. What does "should be closing in on 800 MHz" mean? Is this what they anticipate needing to compete with AMD and aren't sure if they can achieve? Is "700 Mhz closing in on"?
