Intel to create 266MHz MMX mobile chips

Early next year, the Santa Clara, Calif., company will add a 266MHz version to the mix, sources said. The chip will be available in 2.5 volt and 5 volt versions, meaning it can be used in both notebooks and desktop PCs, sources said. The chip is likely to be the last one that Intel develops for the Socket 7 infrastructure before it moves to slots. Socket 7 is the motherboard socket into which a chip is placed. The majority of motherboards and chip sets today support Socket 7. Intel's new Pentium II chips
