Elmer, is that an advance apology to what is looking like pretty crappy processor performance! (ok, if only in the first instance, as you put it.)

The only difference with the PPro and Pentium era was that Intel was introducing those from a position of strength. Hardly that position now from a performance standpoint.

Intel needs a processor with very good performance NOW. Not next year or the year after.

But I guess they have the Intel Mutual fund to fall back on.

I don't know the answer to that one but I will say that I don't think you will see the true performance potential with the first version of P4. When the Pentium came out it was huge hot and speed limited. Only after a process conversion did it
start to shine. The PPro was huge and hard to manufacture with it's 2 die in one package. Only after a process conversion and switch to Klamath did it really take off. P4 will be the same way. It will be the performance leader, according to Intel,
but I don't think it will hit it's stride until well into 2001 when it's moved to .13u and the frequency really takes off. Until then, CuMine will remain very competitive with a few significant surprises in store that haven't been discussed anywhere in
public (AFAIK). <G>
