[NEWS] - Intel cans Netburst (P4) uarch.

[CougTek]

Intel is abandoning the Pentium 4 architecture that gave us Willamette, Northwood and Prescott. Instead, Intels next core will be based on the Pentium-M (Banias)/Pentium !!! core - possibly dual core as well.

The stated reason is that power consumption is too difficult to control in a timely manner.

Can't blame them, the Pentium-M is an awesome CPU. Give it 64-bitness and 2Ghz and they'll be competitive again.
