Wanna: Thanks you for the interesting visuals, but while the Willamette core on the current process won't go past 2.0GHz, the Pentium 4 in other flavors will. This sounds quite bad for Intel - are you sure? I don't see why Intel would feel the need to push P4 in any flavor beyond 2GHz on .18&#181. Do you have any information indicating that Intel's .13&#181 ramp is further delayed, making this step necessary? ;-) Intel has gone in several separate directions with their cooling research, two of which are compatible with the either the current socket-423, or the upcoming socket-478. I'm not entirely certain exactly what you are referring to here&#133 but Intel certainly has had to do some fancy footwork in the area of cooling (and, in the spirit of Seymour Cray, cooling is what it's all about!) with the Itanium running as hot as it does. Seriously, though, I think Intel has pushed some valid points in the PC cooling area: - Mounting brackets / screws for heatsinks, tethering them to the motherboard is a Good Thing. - The auto-shutdown feature when operating temperature increases beyond acceptable limits is a Very Good Thing. AMD certainly needs to embrace this NOW. -fyo
