533MHz the max for Intel on .25 process?... "Intel's New CPU Process Spells Clock Speed Aplenty Hitting a clock-speed wall with its current 0.25-micron CPU manufacturing process, Intel will fab down to a 0.18-micron process by Q3, beckoning a whole new world of high-speed madness. Anyone who's anybody projects that the upcoming Pentium III will top out at 533MHz in its current 0.25-micron process. However, new 0.18-micron process projections have Intel hitting 667Mhz by the end of 1999, and 800MHz soon thereafter." maximumpc.com Is this pure speculation, or did Intel speed up the conversion to the .18 process because they knew at 533MHz the .25 process would max out at? At least the .18 process will enable lots of MHz.
