Ali,

There is a group of people out there who think that if they keep insisting that P4 is something great, eventually they will be proven to have great foresight.

P4 uses some interesting concepts (prefetching across a high bandwidth bus into a large L2 cache), but unfortunately the implementation is very weak.

Application of the third-generation 0.17micron
design rule means that 25% more chips can be made
per wafer than was possible with second-generation
technology. The improved efficiency will reduce the
high production costs that have hindered the mass
utilization of RDRAMs.
