Intel is probably experiencing some major problems with its 90nm process technology as it postpones its code-named Dothan processor designed for mobile personal computers till the first quarter next year from the fourth quarter this year after the delay of a 90nm CPU for desktops previously.
Earlier Intel postponed the release of the highly-anticipated Prescott processor from the Q2 2003 to the Q4 2003 because of an undisclosed reason. Recently sources in the industry said that heat-dissipation and power-consumption of the newcomer will be much higher than originally estimated, as a result, current mainboards will not be compatible with Prescott. Now this Japanese web-site has published an Intel roadmap, according to which an Intel Pentium M incarnation code-named Dothan is postponed till early next year from late this year.
