More of the Intel rushed the P4 wow I can’t believe people that claim they are so educated believe such a farse. The project was in the works for nearly 7 years possibly longer how is that a rush job, oh wait Intel’s platform design teams work as one group and come out with a uber processor, No they don’t do they?
You seriously need to wake up. The
release of the P4 was rushed. There's no way of even remotely denying that if you read anything at that time.
Yes the P4 was in development for a long time. It was in the back, away from the limelight, an engineering project just evolving and waiting for technology to make it possible to fill the engineer's dreams.
If you'd looked at the original design specs, you'd have seen that the P4 was
supposed to have had much more transistors for things like a second independant FPU. Imagine what a P4 with much better x87 performance would have been like!
But to get the P4 out the door to cover up the sorry state of the P3, Intel management forced the engineers to hack useful things like that out of the core to save space, and directly to that, to save costs. They even used compression technology on their instruction cache to reduce die space. (I mean look how big Willy was even after that!)
Had Intel waited on releasing the P4 until the next process shrink, instead of rushing something to market like they did (against their own engineer's advice/complaints) then CPU industry today would be a very different place indeed.
But of course I wouldn't know anything about that because I never read those articles years ago since I'm not educated. No, I'm compeltely clueless and just making up this farce.
So you know this because you work there Silver insider trade information? You can say the same for the I1 oh wait no one does because the Willy and the I1 had the same problem they both sucked.
Unless Intel has no real direction of intelligent staff which all couldn’t see the P3 scaling much further, which then lead to the P4 development team going hey we have a half asses POS processor that doesn’t really improve on anything but the other team has a feasible replacement at 0.13.
As well for such a rush job I do enjoy the marginal 15% core difference (cache) the Northwood had over the Willy. Just screams to be rushed.
Ya I know what they wanted and what they got which are 2 different things, doesn’t change the fact that that’s that and this is this.
Hmm another FPU ya I can imagine cooking my dinner on a 3.0 instead of using a heat sink. But I am pretty sure the second FPU would have dragged the clocking down further than its shameful 3.8 or 3.6 I don’t know how far they scale anymore since it doesn’t matter.
Hmm more theories about Willy and its terrible performance, but alas they are yours and I have no interest in discussing the finer points of technology that neither or us can claim we honestly know since neither of us are working at Intel to confirm.
Hmm if they waited to release ya I can see how that would make it AMD's market very easily.
Oh ya I figured such a comment would come from you in regards to your education and ya whatever you say we all know I called you a idiot or whatever retarded thing you want to think of doesn’t bother me your self-esteem not mine.
