Sylvestor,
RE:"Speaking during an analysts call after the announcement of Intel's Q3s last night executive VP Paul Otellini said that P4s in the hundreds of thousands would be produced this quarter, and that the ramp for the processor will be steeper than that for the Pentium II."

First thing you have to realize is that Otellini has been known to "embellish" to put it lightly...
To him, anything over 1M is "millions" and the fact that people will take a free PC is proof they accepted the CPU serial number (later dropped for some strange reason, duh).

I'm still waiting for your retraction about the P-II being a new design. And don't give us any baloney about the cache on a little board and a plastic case...
The core is still a P6. As soon as they could they moved the cache on die and ditched the plastic case.
Actually the P3 coppermine was a pretty big leap in performance. Still same core though.

The Willamette is a new core...
