>It might explain the flurry of "server advertisements" witnessed yesterday...Is INTC redirecting their advertising dollar away from the P4 flubber until, if ever, it is assured it can keep its P4 flubber from sinking further into the tarpit!<

Could make for some interesting virus attacks. A virus that would force server P4 processors into throttled mode would result in degraded performance until the server is rebooted. A quick in and out virus could do the job, and be virtually undetectable since it would clean itself out of the system as soon as throttling was triggered.
