Fyo,

It could be that Intel simply isn't willing to let them have the P4 license, since that might endanger XBox sales

I don't follow. Xbox uses Coppermine (or Celerymine), not P4.

Of course, the strongest protection against XBox cloning (as well as cloning of any other "console") is that the hardware is virtually given away, with the money being made on the software side of things.

But with Palomino having SSE, NVidia can pretty much design an X-box superset based on their Crush chipsets and Athlon, and possibly make more money on this than on XBox.
