Petz - <PB, re: A0, A1, etc. Your explanations make sense. Is it reasonable to assume that it is the A1 silicon which booted Windows NT? Two months after "buggy" A0 silicon seems a little tight, no?> Actually Petz, the report has glaring inaccuracies. That's why it is so confused. For instance, one event he is reporting as fact, never in fact occurred...at all...not even close...total BS. Look. It doesn't matter, OK? As even the confused author of the article states, IDF is coming up in 2 weeks. Maybe he'll / we'll learn something there. developer.intel.com Next-generation IA-32 The evolving IA-32 architecture will continue to deliver connectivity, scalability, speed, accuracy, responsiveness, and enhanced security for users of business and consumer PCs into the 21st century. In this technical track and hands-on lab, you'll get an overview of Intel's next-generation IA-32 microarchitecture and instructions, and key technologies for designing successful power desktop systems utilizing the latest in IA-32 processors and associated chipsets. Topics to be covered here include performance PC memory architecture, the serial AT Attachment (ATA) storage interface, the PC 2001 Design Guide, power delivery and digital audio, and high-speed design techniques for year-2000 platforms. A special showcase will highlight the latest concept PCs. The showcase brings together ease of use applications and IA-32 architecture to demonstrate how Intel is bringing interactivity to new areas of the home. A separate one-day technical track will focus on how to optimize software for the next-generation IA-32 architecture, including methods for porting and optimizing code to the new instructions. PB
