Tiger Woods Out...Until August!

| | (Post a comment) » 1GHz Pentium III ReleasedAs expected Intel officially unveiled its 1GHz Pentium III processor today. Currently, 1GHz systems from IBM, Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard, and Micron Electronics are available, with the processor set to enter volume production in the second half of this year.
Dell in particular will be offering their 1GHz Special Edition PC for $5,999. In addition to the 1GHz processor, the Special Edition PC also features a 64MB DDR Geforce card, 256MB RDRAM, 30GB hard drive, 12X DVD-ROM drive, and an 8X CD-RW drive.
Until volume production begins later this year, 1GHz processors will only be available in complete systems, not in seperate retail packaging.
The Gigahertz Pentium III in SECC2 packaging is priced at $990 in 1000 unit quantities, and is available now in limited quantities.

Well, XrangerX, I think Microsoft knows what they are doing and will
not be over charged by Intel. =)

futher more. Who cares who stole what. Just as long there is a
winner. stupid microsoft choose Intel over AMD for x-box. they will
regret that. Since Intel has been known to overcharge their
processors

There is marginal performance of the coppermine over the 1ghz Athlon
but thats due to its on board cache, wait for the thunderbird and
then youll see how much more power the Athlon has with comparable
memory! the PIII's architure is just too out-dated to keep up!

AMD steals Intel design? on what?
I thought x86 Architecture is a set of register programing
instructions. Now this instruction are now feed on the CPU and
various design has been implented by AMD & Intel to optimize
it.
BTW...Athlon has a 6 way x86 decoder instruction and Super Scalar
Floating Point with 2 way 64kb Instruction Cache plus RISC like
Instruction while PIII 4 way instruction decoders, 4 way 16Kbytes
Instruction Cache.
Athlon - 22 M. Transistors
Pentium III Katmai - 9.x M. Transistors
Pentium III Coppermine - 28.1 M. Transistors
Pentium IV - Williamette - 34 M. Transistors (Estimated)

In fact, it is you who is playing the part of the fool. If you think
because an Athlon uses the same x86 instruction set as a Pentium II
(and this is true only to a certain degree, as AMD has 3DNow!2) then
you are sorely mistaken. There are many different ways to design
chips, ie. pipelining, cache setup, etc. This is not my area of
expertise, but the Athlon has something like 25 million transistors
compared to like 18 million in the PIII (this is just a ballpark
figure), it is a vastly different design and AMD received those
awards because the of the greatness, efficiency, and power of their
design, which is NOTHING like Intel's. Maybe you should do a little
research before you flame something you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
about. I dont claim to be an expert on the subject, but I am not a
hot-headed, snobby moron who says something just for the sake of
saying it, without any regard for actual truth or fact.

!#@@ you are stupid - who the hell do you think invented the x86
