Willamette and Other IDF Highlights

Hoodoo Extreme writes, "There's a new issue out of the Private Eye which takes an interesting look at Willamette from IDF as well as some new info on RAMBUS. Later on in the piece there are some new findings on various 3D chips such as the S3 GX4-C which will follow the Savage 2000. Has anyone heard about this one? " IDF == Intel Developers Forum.

Intel Scrambling?

[Greyfox]

It seems to me that Intel pulled all this stuff out of their corporate ass overnight. Up until just recently all we were hearing was Itanium, Itanium, Itanium. Nevermind that they're joining the ranks of 64 bit processing about a decade after everyone else (That's OK -- DEC released a 16 bit processor in 1970.)

Anyway, someone must have looked up and realized that AMD was coming from one side and Transmeta from another and the two of them were getting ready to divvy up Intel's entire market between them. And while they're out there showing blue sky, here in the real world AMD is still leading them in terms of processor and memory speed.

Isn't competition wonderful?

Once again there is someone trolling around with nothing better to do than stir up trouble.

There isn't a Slashdot Giveaway

Things like this would be posted on the VA website, not on Slashdot.

My apologies to anyone who has been misled by this poster.
