Pentium 4 to hit 2GHz next year

A 2Ghz P4 will perform the same as a 1.5-1.6Ghz T-Bird. Amd will have that by that time, in volume hopefully. Not sure about intel though, maybe they will just have 2 or 3 chips on the market. Hey its out 😀
 
GUTB's comment

More market analysis from the pretend-talkers.

It *** DOESN'T MATTER *** if you think or believe AMD sold over half the consumer market--news flash, the consumer PC market is EXTREMELY low-margin. IN THE END, Intel *** STILL *** owns 83% of the entire CPU market. DEAL WITH IT.

The Athlon is STILL suffering from poor design compromises. It's STILL hobbled by extraordinarily poor development of EV6. These tww major deficiencies is what makes the P3 *** FASTER ***. It's been widely accepted in the engineering community that MEMORY BANDWIDTH is the most important bottleneck in modern CPU performance. P4 WILL HAVE A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL MEMORY BUS, AND HUGE CACHING SUBSYSTEM.

Intel has the resources to proplerly develop and debug major new products. *** AMD DOES NOT ***.

The P4 will RAPE the Athlon. There won't even be a comparison. Mustang? A paper tiger guys, sorry.

Now let's see...will Athlon be at 2Ghz in 7-9 months?

**** NO ****.

And the .13um revision of P3 is going to include 512Kb or 256-bit DDR-pumped L2 and START at 1.26Ghz...guys, this is going to be an overclocking MONSTER.

With so much super-high-speed cache behind it, it's going to kill off Thunderbird, just as Coppermine killed off the original K7.

Athlon, like the K6 and K5 before it have their days numbered. They enjoyed a status of direct competition with Intel in their day, but it always ends.
