i820 Camino pix thrash cyberspace

Future Celerons takes shape

Intel Developer Forum -- Updated Not only has Japanese Web site Happy Cat posted pix of the infamous K6-III, it also seems to have quite a bit of info about i820 Camino as well as some other Intel trinkets.

Intel representatives in Palm Springs tonight would only confirm that Escondido was one of their future codenames. Calderon is probably one of theirs as well. They attempted to persuade us that signing one of their famous non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) was in our best interests. But after examining the small print, we could not agree... ®
