Well Intel is going to keep around the NetBurst architecture around for awhile at least on the 65nm process, with the Presler and Cedar Mill cores, though they are also working on thier new High IPC architecture with Merom and Conroe. They will exists side by side and Intel will decide if they think NetBurst later on is worth keeping around along side their new architecture. For the moment, it looks like the high IPC way is the way to go, but that could change depending on how well NetBurst scales versus the Conroe and Merom architecture.
The NetBurst architecture has served Intel well over the times it was alive making Intel lots of money, Prescott has done this really well being built on 90nm with 300mm wafer processing.
Oh Intelia, Presler's single core brother is called Cedar Mill not Smithfield, the Smithfield we already currently have with the P4 EE 840. and we will soon also have it's mainstream derivatives P4 820, 830, and 840. Though I apologize if your refering to something else.
Yes I just reread the post I seen my misprint Smithfield is the same as the P4P cores . Presler is the cpu I ment to say sorry. Presler well share some things that P4P had but there are changes made in that core.
