First, if Intel wanted to make a Dothan successor with AMD64 inside, they probably could have it in the market for early to mid 2005.

I dont think that would be competitive long enough. End of 2005 as a dual core model and integrated memory controller would more be what it takes to stay in the game.

It is a bad assumption to think that the reader will automatically fill in the needed development time.

I do. And I might add, development times implied in your posting seem to me definitely on the optimistic side. You know, all these unlimited ressources, sounds great. But looking at IPF, things can take a lot more time than planned.
