Willamette was after Tualatin, not Cumine, as far as nitpicking is concerned. :-) Irrelevant, naturally.

Seems to me it fits in the Willamette to Northwood analogy a little better than the P3 to P4 analogy.

Well, if any it would be more appropriate to compare it to Northwood --> Prescott. Actually, I agree. This analogy is more suitable than Tualatin -> Willamette in a technical way of looking at it. However, in a marketing way of looking at it, in terms of cycles, you know, the original analogy seems to be closer. I don't know. It's a bit of both. Depends on the angle you look at it what to prefer. Taking into account Nehalem is just a year after Penryn, i am slightly leaning towards to the Prescott-line of thought.
