i really think that his views are very eunuch views :)

I think Intel's 65 nm netburst products are basically dumb
shrinks of the Prescott microarchitecture with little or no
improvements. As such they share the same deficiencies,
somewhat ameliorated by the positive physical effects of
the shrink. They are smaller and less costly to manufacture
and help Intel free up 90 nm for other uses but aren't
otherwise interesting.

These products are basically placeholders until NGA core
based products are rolled out starting later this year. The
heat issue is not trivial for servers but certainly isn't the
overwhelming issue some make it out to be either. Other-
wise Banias and Dothan would have established a far larger
presence in servers over the past few years than they did.

Keith, Re: chipguy, thanks for sharing your unique views.

What exactly were these unique views? They sound interesting, but Chipguy's message seems to have been deleted. Pity.
