Intel intros 550MHz Pentium III. intel intros 550mhz pentium iii. Intel's 550MHz Pentium III processor is available now in volume, both in systems from major PC manufacturers, and in a boxed format from Intel product dealers and resellers. The chip maker says the Pentium III's Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions Instruction Set have been a hit with software developers, resulting in numerous optimized Web sites and software applications becoming available.

Pentium III glitch hangs 810 chip. pentium iii glitch hangs 810 chip. Intel's new 810 chip won't work with the Pentium III - but new chip sets may fix the problem. Intel's new 810 chip won't work with the Pentium III - but new chip sets may fix the problem. The glitch that affects the Pentium III's SSE or Streaming SIMD multimedia instruction, called MaskMovQ, can be corrected by a workaround Intel has created for the Pentium III, but the 810 doesn't support the fix. Intel has not yet publicly acknowledged the new chip sets' names, but according to sources, they are the 820, code-named Camino, for high-end Pentium III-based machines; the 840, for Pentium III Xeon workstations and servers; and the 810E, also for Pentium III....

Flip-Chip version of Pentium III on tap. flip. Citing customers briefed by the chip company earlier this week, Electronic Buyers' News says the new "FC-PGA 370" configuration is essentially a Pentium III in a low-cost socket, similar to the 370-pin PGA socket used by Intel's low-cost Celeron microprocessor. A 370-pin flip-chip version of Intel's 550MHz and 600MHz Pentium IIIs will be added in the fourth quarter, and a 650MHz flip-chip Pentium III will be shipped in the first quarter of 2000, sources said....

750MHz Pentium III due Jan. 10. 750mhz pentium iii due jan. Reporters at The Register claim that internal Intel documents give a Jan. 10 launch date for the 750MHz Coppermine Pentium III. Furthermore, the documents call for release of the 800MHz Pentium III Coppermine processor toward the end of the first quarter. At the same time, Intel will introduce a 700MHz flip chip Pentium III, as well as 667MHz and a 650MHz Pentium IIIs, according to the story, which appears at . ...

More Pentium IIIs on the way. more pentium iiis on the way. Intel reportedly plans to release its new 850-MHz and 866-MHz Pentium III desktop processors on Monday. Intel reportedly plans to release its new 850-MHz and 866-MHz Pentium III desktop processors on Monday. The release comes less than two weeks after Intel's introduction of its 1GHz Pentium III processor - amid continuing shortages of both the 1GHz and 800-MHz chips. While pricing has yet to be announced, prices on the rest of the Pentium III line are not yet expected to drop....
