Re: When we started this particular effort, we think about how we can really power the net of the future Cirruslvr, I find this as simply a foolish statement by Intel. If true, how do they explain Itanium? Has Intel become such a beaurocracy that one division sees the light and focuses on the Internet while the other division makes a chip that will have terrible performance in web servers? I doubt it. Can you smell the desperation in the air? chic

Albert Yu: "When we started this particular effort, we think about how we can really power the net of the future. I think when we started this project in 95-96 time frame - in fact that's the beginning of the internet - and we saw very clearly the net would become much more visual, much more including graphics, video, and security kind of capabilities, and so as a result of that we specifically architectured this marchicture (sp?) overlooking for those kind of of applications like streaming video and what Craig talked about, peer to peer..." This is a total fabrication of course. Any Intel insider can tell you that all these years Andy Grove was looking for a "killer application". He came-up with ProShare, a ridiculous video-conferencing application, that it took Intel over $1B to develop and then kill. Suffice to say that he missed the Internet blossoming right under his nose. Kap
