Re: The EXACT same situation existed when Intel launched a 60/66 MHz Pentium when 66 MHz - indeed 100 MHz ! - 80486's were available - and the original Pentium also burned power as well.

There is a big difference this time - Intel has competition and buyers have a real alternative. Intel was able to fiddle with the Pentium for a year before it demonstrated performance, reliability, or volume. They don't have that luxury this time.

The flip side is that some of the early Pentium problems (at least the ones I saw) were largely due to PS and cooling issues and this time P4 is following a trail blazed by Athlon - so cases, PS, and cooling shouldn't be a challenge.
