Tony - Re: "The Intel Architecture is where the action is, where the innovation is happening, where the market is going"

Great find - thanks !

I now know how Larry Ellison earned his last $50 Billion !

Maybe SUN is starting to recognize this Oracle-On-Intel Growth.

Intel Introduces New Computer Chip
By CLIFF EDWARDS, AP Technology Writer

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) said Wednesday its new high-end Pentium 4 computer chip, formerly code-named Willamette, will run 50 percent faster than the company's fastest chip so far.

The Pentium 4, which goes on sale this fall, runs at a ``clock speed'' of 1.5 gigahertz, or 1.5 billion cycles per second. The company did not release price or other details on the microprocessor, which is essentially the heart of the computer.

Intel has been competing with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE:AMD - news) to produce the fastest central processing unit.

AMD and Intel both introduced chips running at 1 gigahertz in March.

Computers operating at such speeds are essential in a world where new generations of Internet commerce, gaming and entertainment require greater processing power, chief executive Craig Barrett said while unveiling the new name at Intel's Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters.

Some analysts say consumers should wait until software developers catch up with chipmakers before spending additional money on computers using such high performance chips as the Pentium 4.

Intel and other chipmakers, who typically get much of their profits from chips with higher processing power, in the past year have accelerated their rollout of speedier chips because of breakthrough manufacturing technologies.

Much of the existing software on the market today requires far less processing power than the fastest chips provide, although the new chips demonstrably speed up games and graphics.
