Talking about future Conroe/Merom improvements I found this on Yahoo board: "The current approach of Intel to get out of the crisis, is actually a worse cure than the disease itself: Instead of really biting the bullet to develop a next generation architecture, they are just adding complexity to an already very complex architecture (PIII Tualatin). As one of the posters said, the costs of the complexity added are greater than the marginal benefits. It seems that Intel drank its own marketing Kool-Aid: They wanted to push sales of processors beyond what the market needed, so they invented fictitious features just to pump them in marketing. I very well remember the advertising of the Pentium III optimized for fast internet experience (!!). Then, it came the gigahertz crisis: Management wanted something easy to sell, gigahertz, and commanded the whole organization to deliver gigahertz. The result was meaningless gigahertz, AMD having an incredible performance and thermal lead, and FIVE YEARS of wasted efforts that now have to be thrown into the garbage for good to go back to the Pentium III." finance.messages.yahoo.com media2.andrew.cmu.edu
