Paul,

"Any idea how much power the P4 will consume? "

Less than an equivalently clocked AThWiper or ThumperTurd.


Where can I buy the equivalently clocked P4s? Should I stay tuned?

Joe

Looking at some thermal solutions, e.g.

thermaltake.com

it looks twice as big as other heatsinks including
all "turds", "wipers", and even 50% max-understated
Cumines. The chart at the very bottom trends to 100W...
Hmm, I do not think any cases can vent this kind of
dissipated power given modern trend for quiet computers.

Thread, is there a reason the Intel roadmap lists the P4 at 1GHz?

intel.com

------------------------------
Willamette***
1GHz

Streaming SIMD Extensions 2

400MHz system bus
Tehama*** chipset (RDRAM support)

--------------------------

Is this just out-of-date? Or are they having problems with Willamissed, similar to the Itanic disaster?
