chip decided dynamite forward larger performance reasons
Tualatin is a dynamite server chip. One of the reasons (Intel) decided not to go forward with the Foster-based Xeon chip was because Tualatin, with its larger cache, had better performance in server environments.

chips desktop distance intel trying
What Intel is trying to do is put some distance between multiprocessor configurations, which will be Xeon-based, and Pentium 4 chips for the desktop and low-end workstation environments,
chips exotic hot literally postage run size stamp
CMOS allows high-density chips the size of a postage stamp to be cooled without exotic techniques. Without low-power CMOS technology, microprocessors would run so hot that they would literally melt.
chips discount higher intel less levels parity percent prices sell
The old AMD used to sell its chips at a 25 to 50 percent discount to what Intel was charging. The new AMD more or less prices at parity (to Intel) and delivers higher levels of performance.
article clever computer computing faith history industry pc people performance says software somewhere thinking
There are 25 years of PC industry and 40 years of computer industry history that says there is never enough performance. My article in faith is that you will never have enough computing performance for things you want to do. Having said that, there are clever software people somewhere who are thinking of even cleverer things to do.
quarter soon trouble
As soon as you let up, even for a quarter or two, you're in trouble.
benefits increasing intel original performance quite theory work
The original theory was Netburst would show increasing performance benefits with increasing frequency. It didn't work quite the way Intel had anticipated.
architecture lose market share survive time
I don't know that Apple's market share can survive another architecture shift. Every time they do this, they lose more customers.
amount months
I would say 18 months is not an unreasonable amount of time.
based december forecast four intel mid quarter shock slam weeks
Based on what Intel said in December in their mid quarter update, they should know what's going on, so it's a real shock when they can't forecast four weeks in advance. That should be a slam dunk.
cases close definitely expectation gap narrow products
My expectation is that Intel's new products are definitely going to narrow the gap with AMD, and in some cases may even close the gap.
number performance rather
Multi-core is the new megahertz. If you want more performance rather than ramping up the megahertz, now it's all about ramping up the number of cores.
address variety
PIC does a lot of different things. It does address a variety of needs.
