Re: "The P6 core was designed by Intel's Hillsboro design team more than five years ago... The same team has been working on the Wilma/Foster core since 1995 They were supposed to be on a 4 year cycle. The chip has taken a year and a half longer than it's planned 4 years. Evidently whatever they tried first didn't work. The current P4 design is the second or third try and they are beyond out of time - did they really finish it or are they just shipping what they have? I think P4 is still a very big question mark. The team designing it, the resources they had, and the time they spent point to a great chip. But the delays, the planned redesign of the P3 for 2001/2002 .13 FABs and the pricing point to a flop. We'll know soon enough, but I think AMD's evolutionary designs with their 2-3 year time frame have been working out better than Intel's revolutionary designs with their 5 to 7 year time frames. By the time the Intel chips ship in quantity, the world they were planned for 6 to 8 years earlier has changed too much from what was expected. Regards, Dan
