Yeah, I recall how years ago some nutcases saying things like the
Pentium 3 (yes, the 3) was "already obsolete" upon release, because it
did not support IA64, which was set to blow X86 out of the market when
it was released.

PIII obsolete? Hmm...trivia of the day - what microarchitecture did Intel
base the core on? And what microarchitecture does the core have little if
anything to do with?


Former: Netburst, IIRC.
Latter: Anything other than netburst?

Um...are you sure you don't want to reverse those answers? Or do you mean
former architecture=netburst, latter (core) = anything but?
