Dothan to Debut on Feb 4

For all those interested in the upgrade to the Pentium-M it looks like that maybe just around the corner on Feb 4, according to a report from Digi-Times (see link).
So for all those thinking about a Pentium-M based notebook, maybe holding off for a few more weeks might not be a bad idea, hopefully the new release may bring the price down a bit on the current Banias processors !![ ]

the article is outdated. current reports suggest a Q2 2004 release which is a few months later than February.

but just so not to totally rain on underpantman's parade, we appreciate any interesting news link posts you find so always be in a sharing mood here on the boards!

 

Thanks for the update,
And I'm sorry for the miss-information. Bummer though I was planning on getting my new laptop in march, with a new dothan chip. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer now.

it's ok underpantman. it's great that you are sharing info tho

 

Thanks for the kind words,
And in an effort to redeem myself & appear to be mildly upto date I noticed this article about the successor to dothan. Bit weird to be talking about a replacement for a product that is yet to exist but I guess that's life these days!
