VR Zone heeft een overzicht gepost van de processors en chipsets die Intel de komende 2 jaar op de planning heeft staan. Volgens deze informatie komt er in het tweede kwartaal van 2001 een nieuwe Camino chipset met Serial ATA support. Verder lijkt het nog enige tijd te duren eer wij een Coppermine Celeron ('tweededehands' CuMine core met halfwerkende L2 cache) op de markt zien verschijnen:
CPU Roadmap
- Willamette IA-32 Architecture will debut itself at 1.3Ghz and 1.4Ghz to be out at the end of Q4'2000 this year and by Q1 2001 it will reach 1.5 GHz. By the end of Q4 2001, the next possible Intel processor codenamed Northwood with a speed of 2Ghz and above will debut.
- Coppermine Celeron .128K will reach 733 MHz in Q4 2000 and higher than 733 MHz in Q12001.
- Pentium III 1Ghz are out in limited volume till Q3 2000 and will be more than 1Ghz by Q4 2000. After which the role will be taken over by Willamete.
- Itanium Merced with 4MB L3 cache will debut itself at 733Mhz and reach 800Mhz in Q4 2000. 64Bit McKinley processor may be out even before Itanium Merced but most probably next year, Madison in Q3 2002 and Deerfield in Q4 2002.
- Foster 32 Bit with 256K cache will debut at 1.4Ghz in Q4 2000 and 1.5Ghz in Q1 2001 and higher for rest of 2001. Foster with large L3 cache version will debut at 1.4Ghz in Q2 2001 and higher for rest of 2001.
- Foster next successor Gallatin will be out in Q1 2002 and higher for rest of 2002.
Chipset Roadmap
- Willamete will be using Tehama chipset ( dual channel direct RDRAM, Quad Pumped Bus and Serial ATA ) to be introduced in H2 2000. Also in the line up are i820e Camino2 and i815e Solano2 using ICH2 with ATA-100 interface and 4 USB support. i815e will incorporate i754 AGP (Coloma).
- Future Camino chipset which will be launched in Q2 2001, future I/O enhancements will take place. Possible enhancements are likely to be Serial ATA where Serial ATA 1X to be available in mid 2001 and offer 1.5 gigabits/sec that is 150MB/s.
