Lately the p4 is starting to look like the souped-up Hondas that I see alot on the road. You know, instead of buying a nice sports car to begin with, you can pour thousands into your Honda Accord for lowering, rims, nitrous, etc. in a futile effort to make it do and look like more than it is. E.g. HyperThreading was the equivalent of a large decorative spoiler--lots of money, lots of hype, negligable improvement. Prescott is the end result of this "design philosophy."

Pentium M is a winner, though.

Of course they could start stacking the chips on top of each other... remember that rumor?
