LOL. Apparently you don't read your own links:

The high price of RDRAM coupled with the lack of demand for such a low cost chip (OEMs weren't too happy with nonexistent profit margins on sub-$600 PCs), led to pulling the plug on Timna just after the chip was completed.

For Intel's Israel design team, the death of Timna was like the loss of a family member. A CPU that they had worked feverishly on for quite some time was now never going to make it to fruition; and the most painful part of it all, especially to an engineer, was that the Timna failure had absolutely nothing to do with the design of the chip, and everything to do with the outside factors that a design team cannot control.
