Intel vertoond de Pentium IV 2-Ghz

Hardware en software makers kregen een glimp te zien van de toekomst van Intel -- en zagen een hele snelle Pentium op het "Intel Developper Forum"

Die hele snelle Pentium, was de Pentium 4 1,5-Ghz die met de standaard luchtkoeling werd overgecloked naar 2-GHz.

"Albert Yu, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Microprocessor Products Group, offered an update on Intel processor technology. Yu touched on Intel's Itanium 64-bit server chip and its mobile processor technology and also made several Pentium 4 demonstrations, including showings of the 2GHz chip.

The demonstration began with a 1.5GHz chip; its clock speed was raised to 2GHz. The chip was air cooled, without special cooling technology.

"Pentium 4 will be the fastest desktop processor in the world" when it ships, Yu said.

Yu also demonstrated a desktop PC with a 1.4GHz Pentium 4 chip and 400MHz Rambus Direct RAM. The new chip, when compared with the Pentium III, enables higher frame rates in video and more realistic three-dimensional graphics, he said."
