Dan, What do you think about Rambus's forecast of a 20% drop in revenues for next quarter? Obviously that indicates a very fast P4 ramp, just as Intel's management has promised. Scumbria

Dan, From the AMD Mod thread. An article hinting that P4 1.7GHz is a fraud. Looking forward, if you buy a 1.7GHz P4, it will run at that speed when it is idle, or under light loads, when CPU utilization is nominal, or in applications that don’t really need a 1.7GHz CPU. But when you drive it to extremes, or wish to extract all available performance from the processor, you may find yourself spontaneously and unavoidably power managed to a lower effective clock speed. Intel’s motto… “1.7GHz. Its there. Unless you need it.” inqst.com Scumbria
