<P class=MsoNormal>I was just doing some shopping for a new processor, and the
fastest I found available was the Intel 3.4 Ghz P4. I did some checking
and that processor was unveiled in February, 2004. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Some additional checking, which I admit was light, revealed
that the P4 1.7 Ghz processor was unveiled in 2001. This is somewhat more than
18 months for a two-fold increase in processing speed. </P>

<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is there a new processor out that I don;t know about, or was
the P4 released later than that? Or os there something else that I am missing
entirely?<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype

<P class=MsoNormal>Also, a bit of humor. I found this at the following site:</P>

<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>"Intel has announced a new low performance processor value
priced processor that will appeal to the cost conscious consumer to be called
the Pentium 4 Mobile Home edition.</P>
<P>The design is similar to a typical mobile computer, but without the mobility.
P4 Mobile Home editions are typically mounted permanently to their desks, often
with an old dog asleep under it. The processors also support the “double-wide”
64-bit processor mode in upcoming Pentium 4 and AMD processors. Rudimentary
clustering is the norm, with eight to sixty-four units forming Parks wherever an
undeveloped parcel of deskspace remains unclaimed for a long period of time.
Wireless capabilities are built in, but require the addition of an old coat
hanger for extended range reception. The systems typically ship with three or
four mice, and will be sold exclusively through WalMart with Red Neck Enterprise
Workstation pre-installed."</P>
