Intel's NetBurst Architecture - The Pentium 4's innards get a name

Conclusion

As the Pentium 4's release approaches, the tension mounts to see how Intel's Pentium 4 will compete against AMD's upcoming Mustang core. Another interesting topic of discussion will be how big of an effect RDRAM will have on the Pentium 4's launch. Intel is still committed to pairing up the P4 with its dual RDRAM channels, and even when they do release a SDRAM based chipset for the P4, the i850 will still remain as the processor's suggested platform.

The CPU industry is obviously about to get very competitive -- as if it weren't competitive enough already.
