I got this in e-mail from a lurker Fyodor: Joe, I keep hearing rumors that insist the P6-core will be around, albeit in a somewhat modified form, for quite some time. Many of these have talked about a P6-core with integrated memory controller. The core is small enough that it would be a very good target for it and the performance (esp when coupled with high fsb and DDR, which is, as far as I'm concerned, a given) would be very intriguing. Of course, they still need to ramp it to higher frequencies and Intel folks seem to clam up when that particular subject comes up. I have heard, though, that Intel plans on using it (P6 core) as their sole notebook chip for a very, very long time. Sincerely, fyodor

RE:"So when is he a whiz kid, and when is he just a kid? And what is Tom? An infantile AMDroid, or just a mere German patriot?" I believe we've discussed this. In the case of Tom, you know where he's coming from. OTOH, I found this really neat Intel bashing sire with .sk on the end of the URL...:.) Jim PS. I problem I have with all this is just why not leave the benchmarking suites everyone is using in place and let the chips fall were they may...changing now is highly suspect.
