ZDNet heeft een artikeltje neer gemikt over de opening van Dresden, met daarin ook een kleine blurb over de Intel Willamette:
While AMD plans to hit the 1GHz mark with Athlon, Intel is eyeing the same milestone with a new processor architecture.Code-named Willamette, Intel's first 1GHz desktop chip is expected in late 2000 or early 2001. It will use a design different than that used by current Pentium III chips or the forthcoming 64-bit Itanium chip, according to the company. Further details on this new design, however, have not yet been disclosed. Willamette will use a 423 pin socket, whose design is similar to that of the 370 pin Socket 370 now in use, sources said.
Oftewel: gewoon de oude release date die we al eerder uit (betrouwbare) bronnen hebben kunnen vernemen.
