Intel has begun sampling Prescott desktop and Dothan mobile next-generation processors build on its 90nm process. And both chips will achieve "revenue shipments" during Q4, the company says.
So reports <a href="http://www.ebnonline.com/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=HKJGRSWTIWISUQSNDBCSKHQ?articleID=14200070" target=_blank>EBN</a>, citing an unnamed Intel spokesman, undoubtedly responsding to questions concerning recent analyst claims that the company is having trouble getting its 90nm process right.
This latest statement in no way contradicts the delay applied to Dothan. Originally roadmapped for an early Q4 release, the next generation of the Pentium M processor will ship in the last few days of the year - to all intents and purposes, the chip will ship commercially in Q1 2004.
"Revenue shipments" usually mean initial, limited-quantity deliveries to manufacturers to enable them to launch product. But mass production of the chip (and thus sufficient systems to sell in volume to the public) usually follow somewhat later.
