Is CPU Segmentation Obsolete? By Vince Freeman AMD's Simple Strategy May Top Intel's Classic Categories The news is out and it doesn't look good for Intel's Mobile Pentium 4 processor. The first Pentium 4 notebooks to ship used the desktop version of the CPU, and proved surprisingly popular with buyers -- a classic case of vendors filling a verifiable market demand before Intel's mobile product arrived. In response to this unexpected groundswell, Intel moved up the release date for the Pentium 4-M. ......Contrast this with the old-school methodology of Intel, or just take a gander at the Socket 370 Celeron, the 423- and 478-pin Pentium 4s, the Socket 603 Xeon, and the cartridge-based Itanium. For added aggravation, the last Intel desktop processor to support multiprocessing was the Pentium III; all subsequent Pentiums have had SMP support absent or disabled. This creates a virtual cornucopia of problems for companies supplying end-user equipment, as the possible combinations of CPUs, chipsets, form factors, and board designs are staggering. How much money could a big vendor like Dell save if, say, the Pentium 4 and Celeron desktop chips shared the same platform? Much much more at: hardware.earthweb.com I guess I'd change that last line to Pentium 4 and Xeon chips.
