4.0Ghz P4 now officially cancelled
Will now concentrate on 2MB L2 caches instead.

It's sad how corps can get so caught up in their own BS that
they have no concept of what's important (incapable of any kind of out-of-the-box thinking). Hopefully they'll be able to realize their mistakes and produce consumer-driven products and maybe even anticipate what is wanted before they get so far away from the mark in the future. Personally, if Northwoods go away and Prescott is the only Intel choice, I'm gonna buy AMD. Secondly, if motherboards from Intel become $120, I'll go third party there too. Enough of the gouging already. "Innovation" where it is not necessary is not appreciated. AJ "Yousuf Khan" wrote in message ...

Not even sure why you would need to announce this, AMD and/or third-party motherboards should've always been on your radar, even before now. Yousuf Khan |

Either way, Intel's mbrds are not considered that great now - they were always a PITA with many models with a castrated BIOS Setup, the independents are doing such a great job anyway and Intel branded are often sub-contracted out now. Buy what suits your needs in the way of features & layout from one of the majors. The days when Taiwan, and even PRC mfr was crap are long past.

AJ The consumer market has been slowing down in any event and throwing more capital into the Pentium-4 makes little or no sense at all. Of course, we all know that Intel has its own version of the "skunk works" (or certainly can afford to have one) and it would be interesting to see what mature product might emerge from Intel's R&D after 2 or 3 years. With future business prospects being what they currently are, the ability to continuously upgrade has come to a screeching halt, anyway. "Innovate" may mean changing directions or going down a different path. |

AJ The consumer market has been slowing down in any event That may be what Intel is saying, but it is not what AMD is saying. and throwing more capital into the Pentium-4 makes little or no sense at all. Intel needs lower power consuming chips that are 64 bit and have integrated memory controllers to become competitive with AMD. This article is very interesting. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19105 Of course, we all know that Intel has its own version of the "skunk works" (or certainly can afford to have one) and it would be interesting to see what mature product might emerge from Intel's R&D after 2 or 3 years. With future business prospects being what they currently are CPU sales at AMD are great! They increased 33% from from a year ago for the quarter ending in September, and increased 21% from the June quarter. The industry is still growing, however AMD is gaining market market share. Intel's cpu sales grew only around 3-4% yoy and from last quarter. , the ability to continuously upgrade has come to a screeching halt, anyway. "Innovate" may mean changing directions or going down a different path. The move to 64 bits and memory controllers integrated into the cpu for much greater performance are important reasons to upgrade. Of course those chips with integrated memory controllers are made by AMD though. |

Another interesting article.
