Is CPU Segmentation Obsolete? By Vince Freeman AMD's Simple Strategy May Top Intel's Classic Categories The news is out and it doesn't look good for Intel's Mobile Pentium 4 processor. The first Pentium 4 notebooks to ship used the desktop version of the CPU, and proved surprisingly popular with buyers -- a classic case of vendors filling a verifiable market demand before Intel's mobile product arrived. In response to this unexpected groundswell, Intel moved up the release date for the Pentium 4-M. ......Contrast this with the old-school methodology of Intel, or just take a gander at the Socket 370 Celeron, the 423- and 478-pin Pentium 4s, the Socket 603 Xeon, and the cartridge-based Itanium. For added aggravation, the last Intel desktop processor to support multiprocessing was the Pentium III; all subsequent Pentiums have had SMP support absent or disabled. This creates a virtual cornucopia of problems for companies supplying end-user equipment, as the possible combinations of CPUs, chipsets, form factors, and board designs are staggering. How much money could a big vendor like Dell save if, say, the Pentium 4 and Celeron desktop chips shared the same platform? Much much more at: hardware.earthweb.com I guess I'd change that last line to Pentium 4 and Xeon chips.

Dan3 Re..Evidently ItSmells Inside, and the ItSmells Inside logo, are property of the Intel Corporation.... <<<<<<<<< I am shocked, totally shocked, that you can't seem to fathom Intel's concerns as to why people would confuse "yoga inside" with "Intel inside" If you can't see the connection, let me ask you, which company goes through more contortions, a yoga class or Intel's marketing. Which company bends its subjects more, what the yoga teacher does to its students or what Intel's engineers do to the truth. Do yoga students lie on their back more than Intel lies to its customers? Do yoga exercises hurt your body any more than the Intel jingle hurts your ears? And I am just getting started. I think it is appropriate and fitting that Intel sue for the "yoga inside" confusing its customers. How would anyone know the difference?
