wow, tough stuff!

at least, if true

and depending on how the revised
P4's stack up against comparable
AMD cpu's, it will put further
price pressure on AMD


Dropped power just as they are getting ready to discontinue them. They
have a ton of previous P4's and PD's to get rid of in their inventory,
and those they are likely going to have to write off.
