Michael - Re: "...Moore's Law Will Continue to Drive Computing..." Thanks for the great article. Did you see AMD's Raza talking about Copper Devices in Q2 of 1999 ? "Atiq Raza, predicts AMD's new chips will be in copper by the second quarter of 1999..." He's got 3 weeks left to fulfill that promise. Paul

According to John Hennessy, dean of Stanford University's School of Engineering and cofounder of MIPS Computer Systems, we are in the later stages of the quest for more instruction-level parallelism (ILP), particularly with the x 86 instruction set, though we still do expect to see more complex 32-bit x 86 processors from AMD, Cyrix, Intel, and others in the coming years. I have a tremendous amount of respect for John Hennessey, but.... Had we given up on the quest for instruction level parallelism about 5 years ago, and concentrated on clock speed and cache size instead- we would have faster computers and our stock prices would be higher now.
