I was looking around at a few sites earlier and some was selling a 1.1 gig p3 system. I checked out Intel's site and it seems at though they have up to 1.2 gig .13 micron p3's out now. Wondering how well they hold up in comparision to the 1.2 tbirds and why Tom hasn't mentioned anything about them yet.

These are Tualatins. They are available in both 256k and 512k versions. The 512k is actually 1.13 and 1.26GHz, while the 256k is 1.13 and 1.20GHz. The 256k is slightly slower than the T-bird, the 512k is slightly faster than the T-Bird, clock for clock, in typical benchmarks. Tom doesn't have any!

I knew about the mobile Tualatins. I was going to get a 1.13 P3 notebook that uses the new 830 chipset from Dell about a week ago. The only problem is that they couldnt get it to me till early October, even though I ordered it Friday. Needless to say I cancelled my order, will try again in October when it will be much cheaper, have more options availible, and probably faster chips. Waiting two months for a computer and having the price fixed at what it would cost you today to get it is fuc|<ing insane!!

You can actually buy both FC-PGA versions on Pricewatch.

Maybe it's BECAUSE of how they hold up in competition to tbird's that he hasn't mentioned them yet ;)

I love amd but I'm pretty sure even if you worked there and designed the damn things you still wouldn't even have a clue.

I thought that the laser Intel and AMD were planning on using to make the official .13micron chips got FUBARed / delayed by the company that makes them. Or something like that. And so both Intel and AMD are screwed because now neigher can set up their .13micron FABs how they wanted them. (At least not until Q4 or something like that, when the company that makes the laser expects to be shipping them.) So until they get that laser set up, their .13 micron chips etching methods aren't exactly optimal. (Probably slow and/or high failure rate.) So we won't see many serious .13 micron products for a while from either AMD or Intel.

That's what I remember reading anyway. I could be remembering wrong. I wish I had the article(s) bookmarked.
