Just an FYI I found and according to search hasn't been posted yet............................
- THE FIRST 533MHz front side bus boxed Pentium 4s at 2.40GHz will be offered early in Q2, confirming our earlier stories.
Roadmaps seen by us show that early in Q2 Intel's top desktop chip will be a 2.40GHz processor which comes in both 400MHz and 533MHz front side bus versions, both of which include 512K level two cache.
In the same period, Intel wil make a 2.26GHz Pentium 4 and a 2.20GHz Pentium 4 available with the 533MHz front side bus, and available in boxed versions.
For the first quarter, however, we will see Intel introduce its boxed 2.2GHz "Northwood" Pentium 4, and we believe the date for that is still the 7th of January, as we noted yesterday.
During the course of Q1 2002 and Q2 2002, Intel will gradually displace the .18 micron, 400MHz front side bus versions of the Pentium 4 until by the end of the 2nd quarter the lowest speed revs will be 1.90GHz and 1.80GHz.
For its Celeron processors, as noted yesterday, Intel will introduce a 1.30GHz .13 micron part early in the first quarter, and will also offer boxed versions at 1.20GHz, 1.10GHz and 1GHz.
By Q2, the top line Celeron will be a 1.40GHz part, with the remaining Celerons being 1.30GHz and 1.20GHz parts.
Earlier, PC manufacturer roadmaps we have seen, show that Intel intends to introduce "value" Pentium 4 parts during the second half of next year.
