<Face it, "revolutionary new architectures" from Intel have ALWAYS been ... and there is little doubt that it has much, much more headroom...> What do you see as "revolutionary" in the P-4? Yes, the Pentium-Pro (and derivatives P-II and III) was revolutionary with the superpipelined short-tick design, with revolutionary deviation from el-cheapo shared bus and direct-mapped caches. So, what is so revolutionary in P4 that will allow it to reach new heights in system performance? The length of pipeline increased to absurd? The "high-bandwidth" quad-pupmed bus when everyone knows that it is the bus latency that holds system performance? Trace cache with yet-to-be-proven advantages in real life against well-known disadvantages?
