It happened already several times when Intel pushed something really hard but it didn't take off. They did a pretty fast i860 cpu, I think it was one of the fastest in industry - but it died by some reason. They did a pretty fast Rambus-based chipset - but industry didn't like it. They can make desktop IPF, but they will sell one per five iMac's sold.

I don't beleive in mainstream IPF. No more than to marcian invasion.

I don't either. But you don't think that Intel would love to do it if they thought it would succeed? It would kill AMD, giving them complete control over pricing and architecture. Now there are alot of reasons why they wouldn't go with this strategy now, especially with Hammer out, but it would be naive to think it wasn't/isn't being considered very seriously.""
