And those .13u P4's run at... 2GHz. Ooooh. Scary.

That's almost as fast as a 1.4GHz A4.

I wonder if this means the .18u 2GHz P4 is a non-starter due to massive thermal failure.

RE:"Uh, Jim - there is PLENTY NEW - such as confirmation that Intel HAS FUNCTIONAL 0.13 micron Pentium 4s and they are being SAMPLED - AND Motherboard makers are making Motherboards for them."

Nothing new to me.
1. Intel is they greatest processist in the world.
2. Intel is always 3-6 months ahead of AMD with switching to a news process.
3. Motherboard makers always jump at the chance for a new Intel motherboard. Intel has 75% of the market. They would be a fool not to.
4. Intel really needed to get to .13u as the P3 was lagging and the P4 a dog.

RE:"Typical AMDroid denial - if AMD had been sampling 0.13 micron AthyWipys, you would be hailing this as the greatest technological achievement since the Pyramids"

If AMD was samplin .13u parts it would have been much bigger news that Intel. Would have been "stunning".

"if AMD had been sampling 0.13 micron AthyWipys, you would be hailing this as the greatest technological achievement since the Pyramids. "

Well, since AMD generally doesn't announce when they are sampling, it might even be true that AMD is sampling those 0.13 micron chips now. But Intel is trying to get at least some good press, so they announce they are sampling. Pretty pathetic, actually.
