Ted, Re..<And on Oct. 9, he shuffled top managers to oversee a sudden doubling in the production levels of the Pentium 4. The most prominent casualty: Intel's veteran head of processor design, Albert Y.C. Yu, who was given a new assignment to spearhead Intel's nascent efforts in optical chips. Insiders say the move was long overdue. ``Albert hadn't added value in years,'' says a former Intel exec. Yu couldn't be reached for comment.<<<< Ted, I have also read that article. However, this part seems to contradict the business week article. I am not sure if Intel has a clue. Recent reports seem to indicate that Intel has decided to scale back their aggressive plans to ramp the P4 early in the year, most likely because feedback from OEMs was not positive. Fast ramps make systems obsolete quicker, and it is anticipated that the initial demand for the P4 will not be huge. I would expect that once the Northwood part becomes available, we will see some fast ramps as Intel once again goes for the performance crown.<< http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT112200000000
