Microprocessor ReportLinli Gvennapom (Linley Gwen-nap), was the 
idea that the 64-bit architecture in techeniesleduyuschih six 
years neizbezhnopridet replacing proce-family quarrel x86, 
constituting segod-AE basis of the vast majority of desktop 
systems properties. If 2002 sees tolkoogranichennoe of the 
products of which are based on the architecture IA-64 - mostly 
high-end PC, then another two year, Intel, apparently, will

a massive transfer of its products with 32-bit x86 chips
on the next-generation processors. But before that see the 
light yet two processors based on the core

IA-32, which is scheduled for release
next few years.

   If in 1999, is expected to
will Katmai - chip, which extends
Pentium II core teams set
MMX instructions 2, approximately
2000 Intel will introduce a chip of the seventh generation 
Williamette. He inherit a set of commands multimedia ot Katmai 
and will differ from the Deschutes with equivalent operating 
frequency with 50% performance gain.

Williamette 800 MHz will initially be carried on 0.18mikronnoy 
technology. With the transition to Intel 0.13-micron process 
speed of the chip will increase to 1.2 GHz.


   Apparently, Williamette ctanet the latest in a series of
Processors Intel, based on
instruction set x86, before
final transition to
IA-64.

   Merced, the firstborn of Architecture
IA-64, aimed at previously inaccessible to the Intel server 
sector enterprise, apparently, will be released in the second 
half of next year with a clock speed of at least 800 MHz. 
Although, according to some reports, in the second half of this 
year, some partners In
