Next-Generation Pentium 4 to Start at 3.4GHz, Ship in October

   In second half 2003, Intel will ship its next-generation processor,
possibly to be named Pentium 5. Whatever it's called, the Pentium 4
successor will start at clock speeds of 3.4GHz and will include new
on-chip multimedia-processing instructions and a 1MB L2 cache
(compared with 512KB on the Pentium 4). A 3.6GHz version is due by
early 2004, the company says. In addition, Intel is prepping a 2.7GHz
Celeron chip for low-end PCs and is supporting chipsets for its
Pentium 5, Pentium 4, and Celeron systems that sport PCI Express I/O
and Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) memory. On the portable end, this fall
Intel will release a new version of its Pentium M Processor, which is
the thin, light, and powerful Centrino-based notebook computers use.
The processor will start at 1.8GHz and will include 2MB of L2 cache,
compared with 1MB of L2 cache on the current 1.7GHz processor.
Generally, you find this size cache only on high-end workstation and
server chips such as Intel's Xeon processor. The Pentium M Processor
will hit speeds of 1.9GHz and 2.0GHz in early 2004, and Intel will
ship low-voltage and ultra-low-voltage versions of the chip at 1.3GHz,
1.2GHz, and 1.1GHz in late 2003. Manufacturers will use these chips in
the smallest and lightest portables.
