Tualitan 256k cache versus 512k cache...

[MadRat]

Will it be the:

1. P!!! at 256k L2 cache and the Xeon at 512k L2 cache...
Or
2. Celeron at 256k L2 cache and P!!! at the 512k L2 cache?

I'm guessing either Celeron name is going away or the Xeon is coming for cheap.

Doh, sorry not enough sleep...

 

[Mookow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the celeron is no longer on Intel's most recent roadmaps... meaning that soon there will be no more Celeron.

so sad...celerons were powerful too...they had their day...RIP celeron...😀

I'm not sure what your asking here, but this is my take upon what i think you mean. Heck i could be 300 miles off/ Note, i'm getting this frrm assumptions that i'm making about a few roadmaps i've seen.

The celly is here to stay, getting the .13 micron treatment sometime in the future. The p3 .13 is mainly designed around use in laptops until intel can make a "low power" version of the p4. These desktop .13 p3 are, well not really high end nor low end, they are kinda in a Hazy middle ground. The 256k cache ones, look to be built for everyday consumer use, and the 512k ones looked like to me, by viewing Digit-life's intel roadmap, ment for highend laptops, Duel processor machines and high end workstations. Either way, this is the end of the line for the p3, these chips are just to fill in till the .13 p4 starts to shine..

EDIT: I don't think the cellys dead for the budget chip, LWD's roadmap shows this...815G/EG and 810E/E2 chipsets will support 0.13 micron Celeron CPUs in Q1'02 processors..l. So there not dead yet..🙂

I'm thinking P!!! replaced Celeron as the lowend, too.

It doesn't explain why they have 512k L2 cache versions out there unless they plan a P!!!M-Xeon, too. P!!!M = Taulitan

the 512 cache at least to me, i might be on crack..🙂....To be marketed to the laptop and the duel processor workstation markets. It doesn't look to be marketed to the single processor market. the 256 is the one that will be sold as a "single" processor chip. (probally works in duels with no sweat, but it just won't be "marketed" that way.

But anyway, i don't see why anyone couldn't run the 512k one in a single setup.

And why would the p3 replace the celly? The p3 design is old as hell...Once it hits about 1.5 or 1.6 probally as good as done. (if even that high). I'm seeing a redesigned celly, based upon either a newer design, or a gutted p4. That and pushing a p4 and a p3 on the market "might" be confusing as hell to the general public. Intel has some great marketing people, i doubt they do something like that.

Ya know too bad the intel employees can't comment on unrelease products...🙂

Edit: or pushing a .13 micro p4 w/ SDRAM for a budget system...(strongly doubt that though)
