Another one of Intel's attempt at outdoing AMD. Although the advance hyper threading and large pipeline aloud for high clock speeds, Intel was, once again, superseded by AMD. The Pentium 4 provides a good example of the "megahertz myth". AMD's athlon and Motorola's powerPC's simpler design ultimately allowed for higher performance with a lower price and a reduction in heat creation. As a computer specialist I must say that P4's in general perform the same way. They perform single task quickly, but they loose their gusto once you try running more than 1 thing at a time. If you're looking for something speedy, look for a RISC based processor like the powerPC, next in line is AMD. But stay away from Intel, especially Netburst based processors.
