This article is long and technical but very interesting if you're the right kind of pervert. A sample:

According to Gateway's web site, the Pentium 4 is "the most powerful processor available for your PC". Unfortunately for most computer users, it's simply not true.

Despite a huge pavilion at COMDEX Las Vegas last month, Intel is almost mute when it comes to this "most powerful processor". Instead, Intel has been insulting the television viewer all through this Christmas shopping season with blue guy commercials pimping an almost 2 year old Pentium III processor instead of its new flagship processor. Why? Could there be... problems?

Merry Christmas, Happy 21st Century, and brace for impact! The PC industry is taking a huge leap backwards as Intel's new flagship Pentium 4 processor turns out to be an engineering disaster that will hurt both consumers and computer manufacturers for some time to come
...

Much more follows including a numbing analysis of why the Pentium 4 architecture sucks. Warning: as I said, it's long.
