Yu will demonstrate the forthcoming PII 350Mhz which is due next month, as well as a first look at the Pentium II for "Slot 2".
But perhaps the most interesting preview will be Intel's IA-64 technology: in other words Merced, scheduled for production on Intel's 0.18 micron process in 1999. Yu will demonstrate how Merced uses a new design philosophy called EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing) which, says the company, "overcomes the performance limits of traditional processor architectures," while maintaining compatibility with applications designed for 32-bit architectures.
Yu will also demonstrate the Celeron processor which is being aimed at the "Basic PC market", scheduled for release in Q2.
