I hope they open a big can of whoop ass on AMD..... 4800+ X2 for under $200 anyone? ;p Ed What! you can't pay out $380 bones for a 3800 X2? I think the big question would be when? Sure I can pick up a Pentium D 820 for $233 bones, but I have to have that new board, and memory. If I have to wait for a year for a dual core on board memory controller from Intel like AMD has whats the fun in that, when I can get one right now. What gets me is this new per watt performance metric they are going to push out? Doesn't VIA have them beat right now? http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/pr..._by_design.jsp According to that url at idle they are claiming .1w, or 100mW and 20W at peak power. It looks like Intel is getting the open end of the whoop ass can right now. Or more like it they are playing catch up, I just wish that the marketing team at Intel would know just what they are marketing. They tried to sell us on hyper threading, now they will start selling Watts. Lets just wait and see how long it takes Intel to come to market with these new products, that is supposed to have all these new features. Gnu_Raiz |

Gnu_Raiz A focus on watts could drive Itanium even deeper in the hole. -- The e-mail address in our reply-to line is reversed in an attempt to minimize spam. Our true address is of the form . |

What they plan to sell is lots less watts. "Less is more" - didn't a CA governor once push that? ;-) Lets just wait and see how long it takes Intel to come to market with these new products, that is supposed to have all these new features. Everybody knows that these products will not appear in the marketplace in quantity until 2007, which is a long, long way off in CPU years. |

No. Actually, I think the answer is probably "Yes." That you would think so was apparent from the form of your question posed, apparently, as a rhetorical. In terms of *performance* per watt, Intel Celeron ULV has had Via beat over and over and over again, and I'm tired of googling it. It's been discussed over and over, and over again. RM |

Was that recently defined by the metric system? Will we be seeing kiloPerformances, MegaPerformances, GigaPerformances, or even centiPerformances anytime soon? :-) Yousuf Khan |

Also, I'm pretty sure I know what a Watt is, Let's be sure what we're talking about. The measure of power is a "watt", with the SI symbol 'W'. Units named after people are not capitalized when written out, in defference to the person. ;-) but not sure what a Performance is. Was that recently defined by the metric system? Will we be seeing kiloPerformances, MegaPerformances, GigaPerformances, or even centiPerformances anytime soon? :-) Like Potter Stewart's porn, neither do I but I know it when I see it. ;) -- Keith |
