The Register schrijft dat Intel op de Intel Product Dealer website heeft aangekondigd dat de 1,3GHz Pentium 4 vanaf heden beschikbaar is via geauthoriseerde distri's. Dit is ver voor de officiële release date, die pas eind januari gepland staat volgens deze nieuwsposting over de Intel prijsverlagingen van 10 december en 28 januari:
The following Intel Boxed Processors are currently available through authorized Intel boxed products distributors. Please note the following listed part numbers are Intel specific and may not correspond with your distributors equivalent SKUs. Please check with your distributor for specific part numbers to use when placing orders.
Pricing details have yet to be revealed, but the addition of the 1.3GHz part is an indication that it should be in the shops any day now, possibly as early as this weekend, when price cuts of almost 20 per cent are due on existing Pentium 4s.
