Andev, Pentium 4 was a failure on many fronts. Complexity, Power, Verification ( remember the FPU mistake that cost Intel $500 million??), heat.
The failure was the only reason they moved back to the earlier generation architechture <insert P6 here>, as it was a reliable beast capable of scaling up. AMD caught up to Intel was a totally different thing. Intel had its own major issues to deal with :D Jigar Savla Graduate Student, Electrical and Computer Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Ph: +1- 404 406 2766 http://jigarsavla.com <http://www.jigarsavla.com/> | [email protected] <[email protected]> On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 10:49 PM, Andev <[email protected]> wrote: > Pentium 4 was a failure?
