wanna,, As the Intel designers walk, backwards, of course, so they can bask in the light of past glory, they find they cannot see open manholes and down they go, again and again.
It is quite obvious that the P-4 was brought out crippled and in haste to try to stem the onslaught of the Athlon. Those who slavishly bought it for Mhz or marketing reasons may be blissfully unaware of their bonehead move since it works well enough, albeit at a snail's pace, but others who need performance are seeing it's shortfalls, and there are many, brought forward forecefully again and again.
It is also quite possible that the hammer will smash the intel 64 bit effort.
The P-4 makes no gains, save in Mhz, AMD makes gains in Mhz as well as chip architecture and concommittant efficiencies.

yes, indeed, P-4 = CROCK
