P3 desktop is being dscontinued. Last orders must be submitted by December 7. Final deliveries supposed to happen shortly thereafter.

Celeron is being kept alive, with the P3 moving down to that. So basically, it's a rename of the P3 to Celeron so Intel can focus on the clock for clock less powerful P4 as their high end chip and the (currently P3) Celeron to be their entry level processor.

ebnews has the article covering the news.

Go figure...

And they're keeping the server (512k) version, along with the mobile (512k low voltage) version. The 256k Desktop version will be called a Celeron. So the question for overclockers is: Do you want the Celeron which has the lower bus speed, making overclocking easy (bump the 1200 to a 133FSB and get 1600 out of it) or the much higher performace Server version (which is much harder to overclock). Intel needs to make a 100FSB server version for us overclockers!

Back to you Tom...
