I hear it's gonna use AMD's 64 bit instruction set.
Apparently Microsoft laid down the law and told Intel they're not going to support two separet 64 bit instruction sets.

I think the 5-7ghz is a little whacked considering they say it will start to be internally tested this Jan 04 then out to market in 6 months...Remember we are not even to 4ghz, and if the prescott built on .09 process has huge heat issues now, how in the hell will they get to 5ghz?? It would have to be a total different architecture....
The FSB is ridiculous....I wonder what it would take in memory modules to supply the bandwidth the P4 would have...5 channel pc3200??? I don't think so....FSB will not drastically increase until the memory technology can catch up...DDRII will help but not that much!!!

I think that the 5-7ghz is correct considering Intel's roadmap show 10 ghz in 2005.

Nobody, not Intel nor AMD sits on their hands and waits. Ever. They are constantly working on newer faster better technology. If they didn't, they would die.
It's like a swimming shark. You know what happens if it stops swimming. The only way we will see 5GHz from Intel is if AMD forces them to do it. Which I believe they will. The "One Up" game will see to that.

Hey Wingnutz... suggest to the "powers that be" that Intel code name this processor "Pringles" if there's any truth to this stackable chip rumor =)Stackable chips!!!!

Maybe I have the idea wrong (probably), but wouldn't stacking make it difficult to cool each individual chip.
Yeah, and the Katmai was supposed to hit 1GHz, remember?Originally posted by: User1001
