Whos going to buy a P4 ?

Hecate

hmm...no thanks, apparently it requires a lot of voltage to even operate reliably with a large amount of devices.

not to mention intel's production problems in israel due to the recent troubles there. They had to move most of the P4's manufacturing process back to leixlip. Can anyone say 'shortage' ?

overpriced and underpowered.

its (pIV @1.5Gz)only ment to be 11% faster than a T-BIRD@1.1. and will more than likey cost twice as much

"If they think this compares to Athlon they are joking. At 1.5GHz the P4 is outperformed by a PIII 933, never mind an Athlon 1GHz which urinates in rather copious quantities over the oversized, overcomplicated piece of silicon."

buying one of theearly pentium IVs will be a tad silly as nextyear the pinlayout will change rendering the current mobo in the bin.
also a lot of benchmarkstodate are crap

/me strokes his athlon

1.2Ghz Athlon with a AMD 760 based system

(mmm DDR)

I'm sticking with AMD. All we hear from intel these days is delays, fup ups, and steep prices.

WAN DE ATHLON!!!

i heard that cyrix have a new chip made on a rubber and granite basis. 7 quadroflops reactions (obviously linked in two) a second, and a 1110 kb onboard cache.
it has passed the stone hammer test and can even sit through a bad movie. all that it needs now is to pass the glass hammer test and there is a slight problem with its 100% reliance on ternary operations./.
