Pentium III: year-old story dead at last

Whew...Katmai gone forever

Well, at 2 pm London time, Intel finally gave in to The Register and announced, as first revealed here a year ago...sigh...the Katmai is called the Pentium III.

We promise never to write about it again after this one. There is a twist. People that use the Intel logo will have to write it with the Pentium bit in Times New Roman and the III part in Ariel italic. The logo is on the Intel site.

You know where that is. It's gruesome. The III looks like three exclamation marks. You can find details of the new name for Digital Unix elsewhere on this site... Gawd help us... ®
