C't interview with P4 chief designer David Sagar

See the report at heise.de (in German)

David Sager confirmed that the P4 2 GHz will indeed be introduced this fall. He said that the architecture of the P4 will have almost infinite scalability. "The P4 will reach its performance limit only when Intel decides to give the processor a new name."

He said that the P4 is the beginning of a new processor family. To further increase the performance there will be some minor and bigger design modifications, like bigger caches. The general architecture, however, will stay the same.

"In summer, we will make the transition to 0.13µm."

Mr. Sagar didn't say very much about SOI. However, since there was a lecture by Intel at the ISSCC about the performance gains of SOI on 0.18µm and 0.13µm process c't believes that SOI will come soon, too.

Hmmm, together with the recent reports about a massive ramp of RAMBUS modules it seems that H2 will not be easy.
