• The RIVA Station (that's the English version of the original German page), has posted a photo of an ELSA ERAZOR III Pro along with some info they found in a German magazine they make sound like NDA stuff, describing an upcoming 0.22 Micron 143/166 MHz "TNT2/Pro" chip.
• Review Zone's Athlon Vs. Pentium III is a 15 pages article comparing the two CPUs on the technical side as well as the performance side. Loads of benchmarks on four Athlons, several Pentium IIIs, going so far as to overclock an engineering sample of a Pentium III 600 to attempt to replicate Pentium III 650 performance to compare to the Athlon 650.
• And last, but not least, Intel preparing megahertz megablitz is a ZDNN article (seen on on AnandTech , albeit minus the link) describing the roadmap for the big I's upcoming CPU announcements, currently (and we know how these things can change) planned to kick off with the i820 chipset and some accompanying new P3's on September 27. Here's a chunk from the article:

The 820 chip set will debut, along with two new Pentium III processors, a 533MHz Pentium III and a 600MHz Pentium III chip, on Sept. 27, sources said. The chips, which support the 133MHz bus, will be based on the current .25 micron Pentium III design.

Intel is planning to follow those Pentium IIIs quickly with the Oct. 25 launch of six new desktop Pentium III processors, based on its Coppermine technology. Coppermine is the code-name for Pentium III chips manufactured on Intel's 0.18 micron process. The new manufacturing process will help Intel reduce the Coppermine Pentium III's voltage consumption and heat production, versus current .25 micron Pentium IIIs. It will also lead to smaller die-size, allowing the integration of 256KB of integrated cache with desktop Pentium III chips. Mobile Pentium II chips already offer this feature.

Chip confusion coming? Of the six new Coppermine-based desktop Pentium III chips, all are designed for use with the 820 chip set, and three, including a 500MHz, 550MHz and 600MHz, will be for use with a 100MHz bus, sources said.

Three more, a 600MHz, a 650MHz and a 667MHz, will support either a 100MHz or 133MHz bus, sources said. Intel may release a 700MHz in place of the 667MHz, sources said, however this was unclear at press time.
