Disclaimer and Nondisclosure • This roadmap will cover products and technologies going all the way to Q4/2002 • Due to the constantly changing nature of the PC market, products and technologies discussed here may be dropped or undergo a drastic change once they are officially released • If there’s a sudden and/or dramatic product or technology change, an updated roadmap presentation will be provided at a later date • This presentation contains confidential & nondisclosure material; DO NOT SEND THIS PRESENTATION TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

  4. Intel Desktop Processor Overview • The Pentium III (P3) has been phased out as a desktop CPU; it will continue as a server (PIII-S) and mobile (PIII-M) product • The Celeron will continue to be Intel’s low-end/entry level CPU • The Pentium 4 (P4) has transitioned to the smaller socket 478 form factor; socket 423 has been effectively phased out • The P4 is transitioning (slowly) to the new 0.13 micron Northwood core with 512K L2 cache • This will allow Intel to scale the P4 from 2.0GHz and higher • In Q2/2002, the FSB of the P4 will increase from the current 400MHz to 533MHz • The low-end P4 will be re-branded as Celeron! • Now let’s take a look at the roadmap in the next slide…

  5. Intel Processor Roadmap Here is the complete Intel desktop processor roadmap going out to the end of 2002 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 P4-N = Northwood core (0.13 micron); 512K L2 cache; “A” means 512K L2 cache Celeron-T = 100FSB Tualatin core (0.13 micron); 256K L2 cache for 1.3GHz ~ 1.5GHz Celeron-4 = 400MHz FSB (0.18 micron) socket 478; 128K or 256K L2 cache

  6. Intel Processor Roadmap Q1 Breakdown • Currently, there are two versions of the Celeron CPU • One based on the Coppermine core (0.18 micron) and the other based on the Tualatin core (0.13 micron) • Starting at 1.2GHz, the Celeron will move to the Tualatin core • Celeron/1.3GHz and higher will have 256K L2 cache; FSB will still remain at 100MHz • For the P4 side there will also be two different cores: Willamette (0.18 micron with 256K L2 cache) and Northwood (0.13 micron with 512K L2 cache) • The Willamette core will max out at 2.0GHz, which is the starting speed of the Northwood core • To differentiate between the two cores, if you see an “A” after the speed (i.e., P4/2.0A GHz), this is the Northwood core

  7. Intel Processor Roadmap Q2 Breakdown • Beginning in Q2, for our P4 desktops, we will start transitioning from PC133 SDR (single data rate) to PC266 DDR (double data rate); PC133 will be around for the lower end Celeron systems • In the middle of this quarter, the FSB of the P4 will be increased to 533MHz with the release of the P4/2.26GHz • The P4/2.40Ghz may come in two versions: 400MHz FSB and the other 533MHz FSB • The P4-W will stay around, maxing out at 2.0GHz • Celeron processors by this quarter will transition to the Tualatin core completely

  8. Intel Processor Roadmap Q3 Breakdown • No significant change for the P4 in Q3 • There’s another speed increase up to 2.50GHz and 2.53GHz • The most interesting item is the Celeron processor • The Celeron-T socket 370 will max out at around 1.5GHz, so Intel will need a successor to the Celeron line • Intel is planning to use the P4 CPU and rebrand it as Celeron • The Celeron-4 will be socket 478 using the Willamette core starting at 1.8GHz; the L2 cache size may be 128K or 256K • So starting this quarter, Intel will begin to transition completely away from the aging socket 370 PIII/Celeron to P4 socket 478

  9. Intel Processor Roadmap Q4 Breakdown • By the end of 2002, Intel hopes to transition the P4 completely to the Northwood core • And the Celeron-T and Celeron-4 will continue to exist in parallel for awhile

  10. Processor Highlight (P4) • Pentium 4 (Willamette core) -- 0.18 micron technology (socket 423 and 478) -- Maxes out at 2.0GHz -- 256K L2 cache -- 400MHz FSB • Pentium 4 (Northwood core) -- 0.13 micron technology (socket 478) -- Starts at 2.0GHz and higher -- 512K L2 cache -- 400Mhz and 533MHz FSB -- “A” designation after CPU speed denotes Northwood core

  11. Processor Highlight (Celeron) • Celeron (Coppermine core) -- 0.18 micron technology (socket 370) -- Maxes out at 1.1GHz -- 128K L2 cache -- 100MHz FSB • Celeron-T (Tualatin core) -- 0.13 micron technology (socket 370) -- Starts at 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz -- 128K L2 cache at 1.2GHz and 256K at 1.3GHz and higher -- 100MHz FSB • Celeron-4 (Willamette core) -- 0.18 micron technology (socket 478) -- Starts at 1.8GHz and higher -- 128K or 256K L2 cache, to be determined -- 400MHz FSB

  12. Premio Desktop Roadmap * = denotes new product mATX = micro ATX

  13. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q1 Breakdown • Currently, our entire P4 desktop line uses either PC133 SDRAM or PC800 Rambus • All our P4 motherboards are socket 478, so they’re all Northwood ready • For ATX/PC133 we have the 845S and 845Si / SL; for ATX/PC800 we have the 850R; for micro ATX/PC133 we use the 845M • For the Celeron/PIII end, our 815EP, V94ST, L133T, and Calypso II are all Tualatin ready • We will sell through the 815EP and V94ST and discontinue these two products, leaving only the L133T and Calypso II

  14. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q2 Breakdown • We will be releasing new products at the start and middle of Q2 • This is when we’ll start transitioning from PC133 to PC266; Rambus will stay around for the highend desktop • Middle of Q2, we will refresh the 850R to 850RE to accommodate the 533MHz FSB P4; around this timeframe, Intel will integrate USB 2.0 into their chipset • USB 2.0 speed is 480Mbps, while the current USB 1.1 is only 12Mbps • The 845D will be an ATX DDR motherboard with onboard audio, tentative release date is 1st week of March • The 845MD will be a micro ATX DDR motherboard with onboard audio and LAN, tentative release date is 1st week of March • The status of the Calypso 4 is currently on hold; because we have just released the Proteus chassis, which is just slightly larger than the Calypso 4 NetPC chassis • And the Calypso 4 requires special low-profile PCI and AGP cards, which will drive cost up • We will keep the L133T and Calypso II around

  15. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q3 Breakdown • During this quarter we will release another micro ATX system board by the name of 845MG • This is based on the Intel 845G (or Brookdale-G) P4/DDR chipset with integrated video, audio, and LAN • And the 845D and 850RE will remain to round off our P4 desktop solutions • And for the Celeron-T end, we will maintain the Calypso II and L133T

  16. Premio Desktop Roadmap Q4 Breakdown • And at the end of year, for the P4 side, we will be left with the 850RE and 845D for ATX, and 845MG for micro ATX • Depending on how the transition from Celeron-T to Celeron-4 goes, we may phase out the L133T in this quarter • By this time, the P4 should be the dominant desktop processor for mid and high-end systems • With the Celeron-4 slowly transitioning itself to the low-end systems as well

  17. Other Desktop Technologies • Other desktop technologies to look forward to are: • USB 2.0: Intel will be integrating USB 2.0 into their chipset by the middle of the year; USB 2.0 bandwidth will be 480Mbps (way up from the current USB 1.1 of 12Mbps); for now, if you need USB 2.0, use the PCI card part # S31017 • 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) may or may not arrive until the end of the year, depending on market conditions; ATA-133 is more of a niche technology than an industry wide standard • 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 the end of the year

  19. Other Desktop Technologies (cont.) • Memory: The successor to PC266 DDR may be PC333, while the successor to Rambus PC800 may be PC1000 • 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 PC266 or PC800 till the middle of this year, at the earliest

  20. Conclusion • On the P4 side, we will start transitioning from PC133 to PC266 in Q2 • P3 is effectively phased as a desktop CPU • The Celeron-T CPU will be maintain until the end of the year and will top off at 1.5GHz at the end of the year • The Celeron-4 will starting showing up in the market in Q3 at 1.8GHz • P4 FSB will increase from 400MHz to 533MHz around mid Q2 and the P4 will end the year at around 2.53GHz
