Intel Admits Problems With Pentium III 1.13 GHz: Production and Shipments Halted

We just reported our latest bad experiences with Intel's recently released high-end processor. While I asked Intel to consider the retraction of their Pentium III 1.13 GHz processors once more, I couldn't know how close Intel was to actually do exactly that. Read the full scoop on the situation.

AMD had Intel on the run with the Athlon. There was a race to 1GHz, then there was a 1100 Athlon and then a Pentium III 1133 appeared. But it was unstable and they all had to be recalled. Intel is rarely behind but when it does happen they tend to get desperate and the knee jerk reaction seems to be to pump up the clocks. The Pentium III 1133 and then later the fire breathing Prescott Pentium 4's.

The upcoming Comet Lake parts are supposed to go to 5.3GHz with over 300W right? Kind of makes you wonder.

You might be right. I remember a list but couldn't find it. But looking more and more into it seems at least on the CPU side that after the death of netburst that the Haifa team has had a substantial hand in the continual development of the core design. More than I thought.

This is what IDC (Intel Haifa) has developed:


And apparently all core development will now take place in Haifa.

Astonishing at first sight, but Intel always had a strong base in Israel. In this context all the recent compute acquisitions in Israel make sense.

Anybody remember the Pentium 2 533?
Yes, Pentium 2 not Pentium 3.

No joke it required a "kick start", got a friend that can still vouch for that.

I remember those days. Computer industry much more exciting. AMD vs Intel vs Cyrix, Nvidia vs Matrox vs ATI. SDRAM vs Rambus. Seemed like every 18 months there was a noticeable jump in performance.

Still rocking a 7700k with 1070 video card 3 years later with no need to upgrade.

I remember the 1133. What a funny debacle for Intel and a sign of things to come. AMD had Intel in the performance arena for a couple years. It was also a valuable lesson that this market is difficult to swing. Especially without the manufacturing capability. AMD I think peaked around 22ish % of the market with a clearly better product. But then Core came out and it got fugly. Moar Cores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
