Thanks to one of my past students Dave Anderson [http://www.uidesign.net/] for the following link: Pentium 4
Merry Christmas, Happy 21st Century, and brace for impact! The PC industry is taking a huge leap backwards as Intel's new flagship Pentium 4 processor turns out to be an engineering disaster that will hurt both consumers and computer manufacturers for some time to come. Effects of Intel's heavily delayed Pentium 4 release and this summer's aborted high-end Pentium III release are already being felt, with sharp drops in PC sales this season, and migration to competing AMD Athlon based systems. Intel, and Intel exclusive vendors such as DELL have already suffered crippling drops in stock price due to Intel's processor woes, with each company's stock falling well over 50% in the past few months and hitting yearly lows this month. Don't say I didn't warn you folks about this back in September, I did.
This article will be a great starting point for my CAD students forthcoming Pentium 4 assignment!
