Intel CPU Roadmap - Q4 onwards

[Steve]

Either The Reg have had a peek at somebody's roadmap and can't talk about, or they've become Intel's new consultants.

A little advice for Intel: roll out versions of the 90nm Pentium 4 6xx series with your Virtualisation Technology (VT) in Q4.

Come on, Intel, you know it makes sense. You've said VT will appear on the desktop before it ships in server processors, and Q4 is a good time to do so before all those 65nm, VT-enabled server chips come on stream in Q1 2006.

We'd recommend at least a pair of VT-enabled 90nm P4s, clocked at 3.6GHz and 3.8GHz. It would be a good idea to give them slightly different model numbers, to distinguish them from the recently released, VT-less 6x1 P4s - how about the 662 and the 672?
