The Intel Roadmap

[X-Calibur]

I'm chaps, I jsut reveived this in my e-mail from one of the too numerous news list I'm subscribed to:

"Intel's Desktop Roadmap :
__________________________________________________ ______________

August 2001
1.13GHz, 1.2GHz Pentium III - 0.13 micron Tualatin, 256KB L2, 133MHz FSB

Q3 2001
1.9GHz, 2GHz Pentium 4 - 0.18 micron, 256KB L2

November 2001
2GHz, 2.2GHz Pentium 4 - 0.13 micron Northwood

Q4 2001
950MHz Celeron - 0.18 micron Coppermine, 100MHz FSB

Q1 2002
1GHz Celeron - 0.18 micron Coppermine, 100MHz FSB

Q2 2002
2.4GHz Pentium 4 - 0.13 micron Northwood
1GHz+ Celeron - 0.13 micron Tualatin, 100MHz FSB
__________________________________________________ ______________

Next month, Intel will launch it's last Pentium 3 and after that, P3s will be replaced by Pentium 4."

Let's hope that helps some chaps and chapettes (!!!).
It'S only just one more reason to go with the T-Birds now....

Why doing the 0,13 Tulatin core for the P!!! for only the 1,13 and 1,2 Gigs CPU? seems like a loss of time.... y'a I know they'll reuse it in the Celerons,,,, but still, R & D ain't cheap and Celeron sell for a hell lot cheaper than Pentiums....

Just my 0,02 cents....

Cheers !!!!

Mmmm. Sorry, I just don't like Intel as a company. Somewere here, I have a news article that says Intel now own the technology used by AMD for the FSB.... If I remeber correctly, AMD were in negotiations to purchase the technology, but their lawers screwed it up and Intel beet them to it....

I will have a look for the article.

Thats not cool. they should go get their own FSB technology! Damn lawyers.............

Dual Xeon'S..ummmmmm;)

Hey X what groups are you subscribed to? Do they automatically get mailed to your E-mail. If so LMK what some of them are. Only one I subscribe to now is Geek news. It's a newsletter that comes every couple weeks.

That's just the boring stuff. You want to know the good stuff?

How about Q1, 2002. 8-way 1.6GHz P4 Xeons? I might be buying ten of them!! (Really.)

Dam 10:eek: how much dosh :confused: i could be getting 1 dual to try:)

Hey, I'm not paying for them, only buying them. Crucial difference:)

I'm technical architect on a large project to provide staff scheduling for 130,000 staff. The product runs on W2K but I have to budget for internal system management costs of £9K per server per year, so it's cheaper to have fewer BIG servers than lots of little ones. The faster the cpus, the fewer I need, the less management costs I incur.

pheeewwwwww Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just about to pop down 4 a sub;)

Well, the vendor just downgraded their estimates of performance expectations and the customer just increased their user count so I'm now estimating a requirement of 27 eight-way 900MHz Xeons each with 8GB RAM.

Completely ridiculous, TBH. Have just had emergency 2-hour meeting with my posteriors to inform them of the hardware creep.

If we do go ahead, do you guys think I can sneak a nonet Genome client on there ;)

27 x 8 x 900MHz @ 24/7 with say, a 99aa gene each. Hmm, Xeons :) (Cue Homer)
