FLASH, Intel is pulling out all the cards... Pentium III to debut at 450, 500 AND 550MHZ on February 26th! news.com "The Pentium III will also be available at faster speeds than earlier anticipated. Intel is releasing 450-MHz, 500-MHz, and 550-MHz versions of the chip on the 26th. Intel was expected to only deliver 450-MHz and 500-MHz versions this quarter. Pentium III Xeon processors for servers running at the same speeds will be available in March.".... also... ""For those of you who filed your stories early and wrote that we were only coming out with 450-MHz and 500-MHz versions, I expect a retraction," Barrett joked. " ----- 550MHZ?....Intel has learned well, MEGAHERTZ SELLS (TM Jim McMannis) We shall see... Also doesn't leave much for the Camino chipset at 533....

Jim, and the MXi and PCOAC will be slow Slow? Suppose that I can buy a PC which runs 90% as fast for 33% of the price? Look at the benchmarks Jim. Everybody is scoring within 20% of each other. 20% is almost meaningless. Very few people have their productivity limited by CPU performance. Even in the microprocessor design world, progress is gated by the speed of humans, not the speed of computers. If you worked at the NSA, 20% computing speed delta might be interesting. Scumbria Intel marketing has your mind firmly in their grasp.
