RatByte New Name - re: 'It has a double speed core- 3GHz! But all the rumors we hear say low IPC when rated at 1.5GHz? Could there really be a major design flaw, or is Intel brilliantly sandbagging? " Ther Pentium 4 was designed with high GHz as its major objective. Integer performance was not optimized - except as to NOT INTERFERE with clocking at high speeds. The Pentium 4 will just get warmed up when the AthWiper starts gasping for breath. So hold on - AMD and Intel are in for a wild ride !! Re: "why is there an Intel design team in Austin working on a new 32 bit core as we speak? I thought this core was supposed to last for 5 years? " Maybe they will take 5 years to get the "new core" architected, designed, verified and into production - I'm sure the target process will be in the 0.10 micron range. Paul

Eric, <And Intel makes this huge expensive chip, and markets it to consumers first? What about the workstation and server types who who were the early adapters of the P-Pro and Pentium?> Pentium 4 will also be targeted toward workstations at launch. Server versions will be available later. <If P4 really is so good, why is there an Intel design team in Austin working on a new 32 bit core as we speak?> Would it surprise you to know that Intel is also working on a third-generation IA-64 core as well, even though 1st-generation Itanium isn't released yet?
