Now there's the understatement of the year. :-)
** New Flash **
Yesterday, Intel announced the release of its 3 GHz chips only a week after
releasing the 2.93 GHz chips, in what is the 27th new chip announcement in the
last 4 months. Indeed, an Intel spokesman said that this should leave consumers
with no doubts as to who is king of the microprocessor hill, and anticipates
record sales of this latest member of Intel’s family.
When confronted with the fact that, despite innumerous promises and a
theoretical range of no less than 348 different chips, actual chips over 0.233
GHz are nowhere to be found, Intel responded these were gross exaggerations by
the press and that backorders are already expected to be filled by the next
decade...
