"It should be clear to all that the P4 is pushing production limits -- at least for now." Nah, they'd come up with some bit of convoluted reasoning of why it's good for Intel to do that, but bad for AMD...

It should be clear to all that the P4 is pushing production limits -- at least for now. It should be clear to everyone that they can. EP

TGPTNDR, Re: "It should be clear to all that the P4 is pushing production limits -- at least for now." 60nm transistor gates have been Intel's goal for their .13u process for over a year (originally, they had a 70nm target). It's nice to see them hitting their goal, but I wouldn't consider that "pushing" the limits. Now, they need some more rework with speed paths in the CPU. They no doubt aim to hit 3.0GHz by optimizing the design, rather than relying on process tweaks. wbmw

Intel eats its own future theinquirer.net And Mad Mike picks up the story, along with certain, er, ironies involved in the popular FUD line presented ad nauseum here by random Intel goodwill ambassadors. So isn't Intel eating its own future by shrinking the die, employing 60 nanometer CMOS technology in its .13 micron process. Is this a case of the biter bit? We think we should be told. Well, I think the Intel goodwill ambassadors all bite, but that's another story. Perhaps closer management supervision is in order, or perhaps management thinks they're representing the company well. Who can say?
