Intel Roadmap Step By Step

Let's now go through the roadmap systematically.

  • Pentium III will be volume leader in 2001.
  • Pentium 4 is supposed to reach 50% of the performance/mainstream platforms by Q4/01.
  • The transition Socket423 to Socket478 (Northwood) will begin in Q3/01.
  • Brookdale with PC133 SDRAM support will come in Q3/01 = high confidence/low cost (P4 supports 'all mainstream segments' by that time)
  • Tualatin will start to enter value segment in Q2/02.
