This is an INCREDIBLE statement! Let me think...last I checked the
Pentium, which performs very poorly against today's RISC processors (i.e.
PPC, MIPS, Alpha, etc.) had absolutely no way of upgrading to a P6 since
they use different pin designs. And last I checked the P6 ran 16 apps
SLOWER than the P5 and and 32 bit apps only marginally faster while
containing 5 to 6 million transistors and costing a small fortune. As for
the P7, Intel doesn't even seem to know what they want it to do (run
slower than the P6, perhaps?) let alone how it's going to do it. So who
has the dead-end hardware?
