The HardOCP guys have gone crazy and taken a P3-650 and overclocked it to a speedy 807mhz. See all the results right here.

There's an Intel Coppermine FAQ on Asiacomp, explaining all about this incarnation of the P3.

Sharky Extreme has reviewed the Pentium 3 500E and 550E FC-PGA processors. These new P3's are very good for overclocking.

CPU Review has a story Intel & 3DLabs, asking if Intel might be entering the graphics market again since it licensed all the 3DLabs patents.

This CNet article talks about Intel's advancing of their road map, with 850-MHz and 866-MHz Pentium 3's planned for first quarter 2000. A 933mhz P3 should be out in 3rd quarter, with 1Ghz planned for Q4. Thanks Haakon Larsen.

The guys at HardOCP have gotten their hands on some docs from Intel which takes a look at the future of the 'flip chip' as well as the official roadmap to 1GHz.

Intel will announce today that it has started shipping of the 750 and 800mhz version of the Pentium 3 processors, taking away the speed crown from AMD for now. They will respectively be priced at $803 and $851. People buying from such companies as Dell won't be seeing it for another 20 - 30 days though, as supply is still a little short at the moment. Sharky Extreme already got their hands on these new processors, check the Tech section below for their review.

update: Haakon Larsen pointed out this article which sums up everything. Stating Intel drops the bomb on AMD

It looks like Intel is planning on showing off a 1GHz Pentium3 in early February, and there is of course the included speculation on a release date of the GHz P3 being possibly early as well. Thanks Haakon Larsen.

As was mentioned yesterday, Intel plans on releasing 750mhz and 800mhz P3 CPUs next Monday, here's the CNET article on the deal calling it a moral victory for Intel. Thanks Haakon Larsen.

It looks like PCWorld has the scoop on the upcoming Pentium4 CPU from Intel aka Willamette as well as some info on AMD's plans. The article talks about all kinds of coming attractions and I only spotted one error which was on the Intel P3-800mhz announcement. They are saying Intel is still shooting for next year, when in fact it looks lik Intel will announce the 800mhz P3 this next monday. Here's a big juicy bite:

AMD says to expect 800-MHz Athlon chips early in 2000, 900-MHz Athlons in late first quarter or early second quarter, and 1-GHz Athlons by the fourth quarter. ...and the Pentium IV chip, code-named Willamette, by the end of the year. Willamette is expected to handle more simultaneous instructions than the PIII, and to break the 1-GHz barrier. The accompanying chip set will likely support a 200-MHz system bus, like the Athlon's.

According to this piece on CNET, Intel is gonna have massive P3 pricecuts, with prices dropping a staggering 2 to 3%. Wow! Geez Intel, have to do better than that. Thanks Haakon Larsen.

It looks like Intel has some good stuff happening for them. This MaximumPC article, and then this EETimes article (Thanks ArsTechnica for the links)both detail a breakthrough by Intel which happened a little while ago making it possible for them to begin shipping 800mhz P3 CPUs. I love this whole CPU race thing, Intel takes the lead again with 800mhz while AMD is at 750mhz. Of course a 750Athlon is probably faster than a 800P3, but still...

At this week's International Electron Devices Meeting, a top Intel engineer let loose that a fab process breakthrough has allowed the company to create 800MHz versions of their Pentium III chip and some have already shipped.

Voodoo Extreme has an interview with George Alfs of Intel on the 64-bit Itanium processor (mostly).

According to ZDNet, Intel has started shipping prototypes of their 64-bit Itanium processors to developers, to get an initial predicition of performance, which has been better then expected.

The folks at HardwareCentral are taking a look at Intel's Coppermine CPU work and sniffing that 800mhz CPU among other things. Kind of interesting article if you're feeling extra techy.

Thresh's FiringSquad has a Coppermine Motherboard Guide, helping you decide what motherboard to buy for your coppermine processors.

Tech-Report has word of a Coppermine bug that has popped up and Intel has to alter their quality control stuff, on top of that Dell computes has quit shipping their GX10 machines using the CPU until everything is fixed up. Also check out the Yahoo story.

GameSpot takes a look at the Intel P3-733 Coppermine.

Some pricecuts coming from Intel according to this article of The Register. The cuts will be announced on December 12 and will be for boxed P3's.

Another one sent in by Haakon, an interesting story talking about the massive increases in CPU speed we'll be seeing in the future.
