Advantages: None

Disadvantages: None

According to industry observers, Intel's yet-unannounced Pentium 4 CPU is slower than AMD’s Athlon. This forced Intel to extend the Pentium III line. Using 0.13 micron technology, the new Pentium III should boast higher Mhz, engaging in the last battle with Athlon b4 Pentium 4 is mature enough to knock out Athlon. AMD’s Athlon is approaching 1.5 Ghz next year, and the 0.13 micron Pentium III will play catch up at 1.4 Ghz.

AMD’s 1Ghz Athlon is already using copper-interconnect. Intel will only start using copper-interconnect at 1.4Ghz due to its better fabrication technology. The line will also allow Intel to perfect high-volume production of the new process technology using a mature and proven Pentium III core before transitioning to the next-generation Pentium 4.

Good luck.
