New steppings, double pumpers?

[DocClock aka MadClocker]

I have been reading some speculation on the new .13mic core PIII, and it is rumored to run on a 200mhz bus...will this be compatible with existing infrastructures? e.g. will they ride a 100mhz bus and then double pump the bus internaly, like the quad pumped bus of the P4? just curious...as I am at the end as far as my 600e can go, and am trying to decide to get a cCo 700e, or wait for a tualitin in whatever flavor will be the next clocker of that run? your thoughts?

I haven't seen much about them yet, but one article I did see said they will require a new MB.

As near as I can tell, the coppermines are getting a new cD0 stepping. But this is not the .13 micron Tulatin (spelling?) P-III chip that will run at 200 MHz fsb. Tim is correct, you'll need a different motherboard for the new Tulatin 1.13 gig chip that is supposed to be released next quarter (May 1st).
