Intel To Show 1Ghz Soon

AMD has been showing off the overclocked 1Ghz Athlon by Kryotech at recent conventions, but Intel is showing their processors which are capable of 1Ghz without overclocking in about 2 weeks at the Intel Developer Forum, according to this ZDNet story. The "Willamette" (brand new processor) will be shown since it will replace the Pentium 3. It's coming out at the end of this year, offering speeds well beyond 1Ghz according to Intel. A 1Ghz capable P3 will be out during the 2nd half of this year. Intel will also be showing their 64-bit Itanium and a new chip codenamed Timna which is a Pentium, a graphics engine and a memory controller combined, saving component cost for PC makers.

  • #32, trust me Intel is in just for the money. Remember RIMMS are so damn expensive! You can forget about upgrading this year. That\'s why I am getting two 700E processors and replacing my old Pentium II 450s and do a REAL upgrade in 2001 ( A Space Odyssey ). Trust me on this, Intel wants EVERYONE to use RIMMS no more PC-100 no more PC-133 no more PC-266. RIMMS DAMN IT RIMMS! with RIMMS being so rare they are going bananas because of AMD :) Other computer companies are looking for AMD for their high speed needs, Intel doesn\'t like that at all :). Plus they have those processors ready to go :) If AMD wasn\'t around you will still be at Pentium III 550 land. They did release an Intel I815 for those PC-100,PC-133 users. But it won\'t last long :( The I840 is going to be the king for intel. I am not a big fan of Intel, but I want 100% compatibility and I MUST spend that great amounts of money just so I won\'t have AGP conflicts etc etc etc. I had a terrible experiece with the AMD-K6-2 300 and I will never get an AMD processor till they are 100% compatibility. Some people don\'t have conflicts, some do. I know some who will only get AMD and some who will get only Intel. I am one of those bastards who must get Intel :(
