Thread, this doesn't look like a soft-landing for HP: Message 15330595 "We anticipated a slowdown in U.S. consumer IT spending and continued strength in enterprise IT spending, all in the context of the prevailing view that the U.S. economy was headed toward a soft landing," said HP CEO Carly Fiorina. "It's clear there's been a significant change in market conditions in recent weeks," she continued. "Consumer spending in the U.S. has been below even our own conservative estimates and our enterprise customers -- responding to the growing economic uncertainty -- have become increasingly cautious about IT spending."

Apparently it has chnaged because Two Years later - in 2001, IBM said Power4 has TWO cores. Maybe the 115 Watts would have been 230 watts and caused them to change their minds and aim a little lower. Maybe they should rename it to the Power2. 2001 ISSCC Advanced Program Abstracts 15.2 POWER4 Physical Design 2:00 PM C. Anderson, J. Petrovich, J. Keaty, G.
