  4. Intel Desktop Processor Overview • Intel will accelerate its plan to introduce their P4 based Celeron CPU in June/2002, which was originally slated for Q3/2002 • This, in turn, will accelerate the end of life cycle for the socket 370 Celeron CPUs • The marketing name of the P4 based Celeron is still unknown, but Intel will most likely stay w/ the Celeron brand and call it Celeron 4, Celeron Pro, or some other variants; it will have 128K L2 cache w/ a 400MHz front side bus (FSB) • In the June/2002 timeframe, Intel will also release a new version of of the P4 with the faster 533MHz FSB • The P4/400Mhz FSB will max out at 2.60GHz

  5. Intel Processor Roadmap Here is the complete Intel desktop processor roadmap going out to Q1/2003 It’s a bit overwhelming at first, but I’ll do a quarter by quarter breakdown in the next few slides P4-W = Willamette core (0.18 micron); 256K L2 cache; 400MHz FSB P4-N/400 = Northwood core (0.13 micron); 512K L2 cache; 400MHz FSB P4-N/533 = Northwood core (0.13 micron); 512K L2 cache; 533MHz FSB Celeron = Tualatin core (0.13 micron); 256K L2 cache; 100Mhz FSB Celeron 4 = Willamette core (0.18 micron); 128K L2 cache; 400Mhz FSB Celeron-N 4 = Northwood core (0.13 micron); 256K L2 cache; 400Mhz FSB

  6. Intel Processor Roadmap Q2/2002 Breakdown • The most important thing to note this quarter is the introduction of the Celeron 4 processor, based on the Pentium 4 Willamette core • Originally, Intel scheduled this for Q3/2002, but due to better yield of the P4 Willamette core, they pull it ahead one quarter • The Celeron 4 will launch at 1.7GHz in a socket 478 format; THIS WILL NOT BE COMPATIBILE WITH THE CURRENT SOCKET 370 CELERON SYSTEMS • The Celeron 4 will come equipped w/ 128K L2 cache and a 400MHz front side bus (FSB) • The Celeron socket 370 will stay around at 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4GHz • For the P4 line, the most significant change is the addition of the P4/533FSB • Currently, the P4 CPU is available in two cores: Willamette (400FSB/256K/maxes out at 2.0GHz) and Northwood (400 and 533FSB/512K/starts off at 2.0GHz)

  7. Intel Processor Roadmap Q2/2002 Breakdown (cont.) • By June/2002, Intel will splinter the P4-Northwood core CPU into two different versions: 400MHz and 533MHz FSB • OUR CURRENT P4 MOTHERBOARDS DO NOT SUPPORT THE 533MHZ FSB VERSION YET; we will be refreshing our P4 systems for 533MHz support in Q2 and Q3 • The P4-Willamette core will be available in speeds of 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9GHz (remember, this core is limited to 400FSB and 256K L2 cache) • The P4-Northwood/400FSB core will be available in speeds of 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4GHz • The P4-Northwood/533FSB core will start off at 2.26GHz • Due to the 533FSB, an easy way to tell if the P4-Northwood is 400FSB or 533FSB is by looking at the the last digit of the CPU speed • If it ends w/ a “3” or “6” then it’s 533FSB; otherwise it is 400FSB; this rule will hold true until Q4/2002 (see upcoming slide) • For example, P4/2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 are all 400FSB; while the 2.26GHz is 533FSB

  8. Intel Processor Roadmap Q3/2002 Breakdown • Intel will ramp the Celeron 4 up to 1.9GHz this quarter • The Celeron socket 370 will remain, topping off at 1.4GHz • For the P4 side, Intel will release two more P4-N/533 at 2.53 and 2.66GHz • Intel plans to phase out the P4-W core CPU by this quarter • The P4-N/400 will top off at 2.6GHz; this is important because it means all CURRENT P4 socket 478 motherboards (not just Premio’s) will top off at 2.6GHz; all P4 CPUs above 2.6GHz will be 533MHz FSB • This is not as bad as it sounds, because we will be refreshing our P4 systems to include 533MHz FSB support • And P4/400FSB CPUs will still be available until Q1/2003

  9. Intel Processor Roadmap Q4/2002 Breakdown • Closing out 2002, no major change for the Celeron and Celeron 4 product line • Celeron will top off at 1.4GHz and will hit end of life cycle • Celeron 4 will be available in speeds of 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9GHz • For the P4 line, P4-W will hit its end of life cycle, and all future P4 CPU will be based on the Northwood core w/ 512K L2 cache • Intel will end 2002 w/ their P4 hitting 2.80GHz at 533FSB • So the rule of determining whether a P4-N is 400 or 533FSB by looking at the last digit of the CPU speed no longer applies • For P4 CPUs, any speed ABOVE 2.6GHz is, by default, 533FSB

  10. Intel Processor Roadmap Q1/2003 Breakdown • By the start of 2003, Intel plans to transition completely to the Celeron 4 as their low end / entry level CPU • To scale the Celeron 4 beyond 2.0GHz, Intel will introduce a Celeron 4 based on the P4-Northwood (0.13 micron) core; FSB will probably stay at 400MHz, because Intel doesn’t want the Celeron 4 to compete with their P4/533MHz CPUs • Celeron 4’s L2 cache may double from 128K to 256K, because by this time, all the P4 CPUs will have 512K L2 cache • And for the first time, Intel will break the 3.0GHz barrier w/ the introduction of the P4/3.06GHz CPU

  11. Premio Desktop Roadmap * = denotes new product ** = denotes product refresh to support 533FSB “Omega” = development name for our new micro ATX NetPC

  12. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q2/2002 Breakdown • For our Premio desktop product line-up, we have three categories: NetPC, micro ATX and ATX • For NetPC, we currently have our Calypso II, which is a Celeron socket 370 solution • Since Intel will be transitioning over to the P4 and Celeron 4, we will have a Calypso 4 system based on an NLX board • The Calypso 4 will launch end of April / beginning May • “Omega” (final product name to be determined from an upcoming poll) will be Premio’s other NetPC which will accommodate a standard micro ATX system board; this will launch beginning or mid May • Both Calypso 4 and “Omega” training courses with full specs / details will be release as we get closer to the launch dates

  13. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q2/2002 Breakdown (cont.) • For our micro ATX motherboards, we currently have the 845MD and 845PTL • We will be releasing two new micro ATX DDR266 boards with integrated video: • S650 (SiS 650 chipset) with onboard LAN, audio, and video (shared video memory w/ an open AGP slot), which will be launching middle of April; this board will replace the L133T as our low-end Celeron 4 solution • 845GL (Intel 845GL chipset) with onboard LAN, audio, and video (shared video memory but NO AGP SLOT), which will be launching beginning of May • Both S650 and 845GL training courses with full specs / details will be release as we get closer to the launch dates

  14. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q2/2002 Breakdown (cont.) • For our ATX motherboards, we currently have the 845D, 845DI, and 845BG for DDR266; the 850R is for Rambus • We will not be introducing any new ATX boards • Sometime between Q2 and Q3, we will gradually refresh both the ATX and micro ATX DDR266 product line to support the new P4 533MHz FSB

  15. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q3/2002 Breakdown • No major changes for Q3/2002 • We will continue refreshing our P4 product line to support the 533Mhz FSB • The 845GL and S650, because they are meant as entry level P4/Celeron 4 units, will stay w/ the 400MHz FSB • We will launch the 850E desktop, which will be our desktop w/ Rambus and 533FSB support • And by this quarter, depending on the sales volume, the Calypso II may be phased out

  16. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q4/2002 & Q1/2003 Breakdown • Once we have transitioned all our P4 products to the 533MHz FSB support, things will settle down • So there shouldn’t be any more major changes or new products in Q4/2002 and start of Q1/2003 • But come Q2/2003, Intel will introduce their “Springdale” P4 chipset with 667FSB support • Which will mean yet another round of new products and/or motherboard refresh, but that’s one year from now…

  17. Other Desktop Technologies • USB 2.0: One of the side effect of transitioning to the new 533MHz support is the inclusion of USB 2.0; so sometime in Q2/2002 and Q3/2002, you will be seeing USB 2.0 integrated down to the chipset • IEEE1394/Firewire: Currently, Firewire maxes out at 400Mbps; Firewire is mainly used for DV (digital video) editing; but with USB 2.0 (480Mbps), there’s no need for Intel to integrate Firewire into their chipset; Intel is looking at 1394b (the next generation of Firewire); but for now, if you need Firewire, use the PCI card part # 310231

  18. Other Desktop Technologies (cont.) • ATA-100: Desktop IDE HDD will remain at ATA-100 for awhile; S-ATA (serial ATA, which has higher transfer rate and much thinner cable for improved thermal inside the chassis) will not hit the market till 1H/2003 • AGP 8X: Except for the most demanding workstation DCC (digital content creation) applications or high-end games, the current AGP 4X is sufficient; Intel will not be rolling out AGP 8X till 1H/2003

  19. Other Desktop Technologies (cont.) • Memory: The successor to DDR266 may be DDR333, while the successor to Rambus PC800 may be PC1066 • But it usually takes awhile for the PC market to transition form one type of memory to another; so don’t except any major changes from DDR266 or PC800 till the middle of this year, at the earliest

  20. Summary for Intel CPUs • Intel will introduce the Celeron 4 in Q2/2002, one quarter earlier than planned • The P4 will splinter into two versions: 400FSB and 533FSB • P4/400FSB will max out at 2.6GHz by Q3/2002 • Intel will start phasing out the P4-Willamette in Q3/2002 • Any P4 that is higher than 2.6GHz will be 533FSB • Intel will end the year with the P4/2.80GHz • By Q1/2003, Intel will break the 3.0GHz barrier

  21. Summary for Premio Desktops • We will introduce two NetPC systems (Calypso 4 and “Omega”) in Q2/2002 • The S650 will replace our low-cost / entry level L133T Celeron desktop • The 845GL will have integrated LAN, audio, and video, but NO OPEN AGP slot • Between Q2 and Q3/2002, we will refresh our existing P4 products to support 533FSB • Once we have migrated over to 533FSB by Q3/2002, things will settle down from Q4/2002 to Q1/2003
