I liked these quotes from Anand's article:

While we can't release performance numbers today (those will have to wait until the CPU is actually released), remember that the Rapid Execution Engine might be necessary in order to make sure that the Pentium 4 can outperform the Pentium III in integer applications.

and

AMD took advantage of the fact that Intel's flagship platform was and still is the i820. If the acceptance of RDRAM continues to be as low as it has been, the i850 may be a tragic flaw of the Pentium 4, at least for the first few months of its existence.
