“The demonstration, made during a keynote address by chairman
Andy Grove and senior vice president Albert Yu here at the
company’s developers’ forum, came as part of a showcase of Intel
technology coming this year.
Although consumers won’t see chips running this fast on shelves
for a while, Intel will release Pentium IIIs running at 1 GHz or
faster by the second half of the year as well as the
next-generation Willamette chips running at the same speed, Yu
said.”
“With all of the construction that needs to take place, Intel
and others will need to concentrate on keeping costs down.
Interestingly, two of three e-commerce CEOs brought on stage to
tout the benefits of e-commerce and Intel servers said they were
using the low-cost Linux OS.”
