Add a few more functional units, put it on a 0.13µ copper process and eliminate the dependency on high latency RDRAM and Willy will be formidable. How long will that take?

2-3 years. Intel has several other designs in the pipeline from Austin, which will arrive sooner than that. I suspect Willy will be a short lived product.


Scumbria,

I have to believe that Intel can get the P4 down to 0.13 um faster than 2-3 years. Are you saying the design changes coupled with the process transition will take that long?
