Pentium Mobile And Server Roadmap Preview

KingFish

Going along with the recently announced addition of the 6xx series of Pentium processors in Intel's latest roadmap update, we have the latest information on their Mobile and Server chips as well. Things are a little less dramatic in these sectors, with no major name changes or additions being announced.

Starting in the mobile sector, we have a couple updated launch dates as well as some new additions to the Celeron M and Mobile P4 sectors. You might recall, Intel currently has four different mobile lines. The high-end parts are the Pentium M, with a value counterpart called the Celeron M, and then there are the mobile variants of the Pentium 4 platform, dubbed the Mobile Pentium 4 and the Mobile Intel Celeron Processor. The Celeron M 380 has a targeted launch date of Q2'05, and Intel has also added a new Mobile Pentium 4 Processor, the 548. The remainder of the lineup for the mobile sector remains virtually unchanged. With the last update, Intel also added support for the execute disable (XD) bit across their entire product line. This corresponds to the NX bit from AMD. Previously announced parts without the XD support will continue to be sold for some time, and the XD versions will have a "J" suffix. Future processors will only come in XD flavors and may lack the "J" suffix. Similar to the Celeron "A" chips, the "J" is only used when there is overlap with an existing processor.

Jeez, I thought AMD's PR ratings were a little annoying. Looking at the whole page of PR ratings from Intel hurts my head. At least when everything was sold in Mhz, I could have a little conversion factor in my head to determine how powerful it really was. One thing I'm not going to do is take Intel's word on performance.

I dont even bother with Intel's PR rating.
