Using that logic, Intel should not be mentioning the high clock rates of PIV. Why buy a PIII if 1.4 or 1.7GHz PIV is just around the corner? Scumbria It wasn't so hard to determine what the performance improvement in PIII would be by adding on-die cache, since it had already been added to Celeron, the same core. Nobody knows what the benchmark performance of P4 will be, so it is good PR to announce higher clock speeds to make people think it will be better, without really providing any benchmarks saying how much better. GHz Sells... (TM Me). Also, P4 is supposed to be significantly more expensive than P3, which I don't believe was true for P3 non-cache / cache. Advertising higher core speeds, will warm people up to the higher cost, then follow up with higher benchmarks at introduction. Do away with Celeron, drop the price of P3 to Celeron levels.... Taaa Daaaa..... :-) SemiconEng
