Intel Phasing Out Pentium III
WinInfo | at | by Mike
With the release of a low-cost Pentium 4 chipset that enables PC makers to build systems that tie the high-end chip to standard, low-cost SDRAM memory, Intel is now busy phasing out its popular Pentium III product line for desktop PCs. By the end of the holiday season this year, Pentium III desktop systems will be gone for good from store shelves, with only corporate accounts being able to purchase such systems for a limited time thereafter. Intel says it will continue to sell its low-end Celeron line, which is based on the Pentium III chip, for the short term as well.
