<Since then, the P6 core has been given a larger L1 cache (16K to 32K), segment register caches (to fix the 16 bit legacy problem), MMX and SSE instructions , and 256K of ON CHIP L2 cache as well as a finely tuned L2 cache hardware.

Add to this a clock speed increase from 200 MHz (Pentium Pro) all the way to 1 GHz (Coppermine).

In 4 years, you'll be saying the same thing about the Pentium 4 - which I assume will receive several improvements between now and then, a la the P6 core.>

P6 started as a nice core competing against K5, K6. Coppermine was the only substantial improvement.

P4 starts as a monstrosity competing against Athlon/Palomino/Hammers.

See the difference?
