Re: "the huge differential between Xeon shipping speeds and their demo (250 Mhz) clearly indicates that Intel was up to mischief."

More proof of your bias. Why do you call it mischief unless you think they have some sinister plan? Looks like a process generation to me.

Re: "every ounce of engineering sense in me says that the Intel 800MHz/1GHz demos were contrived."

Think hard now Scumbria. Why would Intel demo an 800Mhz system weeks after they had already demoed a 1000Mhz system??????? At what stage of development do you think Intel's .18u process is? Do you think Intel has generated any .18u PIII material? If so, should they show it? How fast do you think they could get a demo to run?

Think hard now Scumbria.

SCUMbria - Re: " On the other hand, the huge differential between Xeon shipping speeds and their demo (250 Mhz) clearly indicates that Intel was up to mischief."

Let's see - AMD is shipping only a FEW 400 MHz K63s.

AMD demos a 600 MHz K7.

Thus, the huge differential between K63 shipping speeds and their demo (200 Mhz) clearly indicates that AMD was up to mischief.

Your Bullsh*t is just that, SCUMbria - BULLSH*T.
