Just seen this over @ The Inquirer, Despite currently having supply problems with both the Xeon Foster and the Pentium 4 Willamette, Intel is maintaining it is ahead of time with the 533MHz front side platforms it will release next year.
According to sources at Intel in Oregon, the company will pull its 533MHz FSB Pentium 4s into the second quarter of next year with support for microprocessors at 2.26GHz and 2.40GHz.
It will move from the 400MHz FSB currently in production by using its high performance Tehama- E chipset, and will also now launch its Brookdale-E and Brookdale-G platforms in Q2.
Tehama-E, which displaced the "Tulloch" chipset which occupied the performance sector of the Intel desktop market in earlier roadmaps revealed here, was originally slated for Q3 of 2002, but our information is that it will start replacing the 850 Rambus chipset in the middle of Q2, if the plans do not go awry.
