Oooh....Intel regained some ground in the notebook market with the release of new mobile chips....
At the lower end, the Celeron-266 and Celeron-300 take over, while the Pentium IIs increase their high end to 333MHz and 366MHz. For those of you who haven't been following, the new mobile PIIs are of the Dixon variety, meaning they pack 256K of L2 cache onto the processor silicon, instead of the off-chip 512k. Anyway, the critical bit here is that Intel has officially reclaimed the "highest MHz mobile chip" crown, after being offset by the 333MHz mobile K6-2 a couple weeks ago. I should mention, though, that the K6-2's socket nature has allowed for even the 400MHz desktop version to be placed into a notebook. This gets me wondering...now that some of Intel's chips are socketed, will we see notebook versions of their socket desktop 400MHz chips popping up any time soon?
