Intel Chips For The Near- And Semi-Near Future

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the why-when-i-was-a-boy dept.

Brian writes "This article reports that Intel will release new chips at the Comdex trade show, its first low-power designs for super-thin servers. The new Pentium III model is a gussied-up chip taken from the company's product line for portable computers, which share many of the same constraints as ultradense servers. These systems can't consume as much power or give off as much heat as ordinary CPUs because overheating causes processing errors. The systems are the first swing of a one-two punch against Transmeta, whose low-power designs caught Intel flat-footed, first in the mobile market and then in the low-power server market. Intel now is fighting back just when most server companies using Transmeta chips are on the ropes." And albat0r writes: "Intel says that it will hit 3GHz on the mainstream Pentium 4 by the end of 2002. Intel will advance its Celeron line, currently based on Pentium III technology, with Pentium 4 technology by mid-2002." I look forward to good values on eBay when 2GHz is "obsolete."

    Virtually every substantial post ever made by the "author" of the above comment has been stolen from other people. All he has to do is preface the text with "The following is a USENET post from Bleh on XX/XX/XX", but appearantly he wants everyone to believe that he is creating original material. He has already been bitchslapped once, and yet he continues. Mod him accordingly. please.
