Funny, I've been (and still am) thinking the same of Intel
for quite a while.

The P4 is garbage from a technical point of view, and
their current Itaniums seem to be too, based on the benchmarks
we have seen so far. Their only hope is to keep pushing up
the clockspeed as high as they can, but the design has limits
*somewhere*, as the original P3 at 1.13Ghz showed (totall recall
due to instabily).

When are they going to come with a _new_ CPU with a design
that is _better_ than that of the Pentium Pro?
