By Mark Hachman and Sandy Chen,
Intel has released its April pricing road map to OEMs, which gives the first specifications of the new Coppermine or Pentium III microprocessor with integrated cache.
As Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel moves to its 0.18-micron manufacturing process, the company will integrate greater amounts of on-chip cache on its mainstream microprocessors, as it already does on its Celeron chips for low-cost PCs. The smaller die size of the processor core will allow Intel to integrate a total of 256 kilobytes of cache directly onto the Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon processors designed for desktop PCs, as well as workstations and servers.
At the same time, Intel will begin to add the Pentium III instructions to its mobile processor lineup. The company will apparently also fulfill its earlier pledge to increase the speed of its mobile microprocessors to match those designed for desktop PCs.
