10/10 for effortYou only let yourself down on execution!

Skt 478 P4 3.2Ghz HT to AthlonXP 3800+
They did - Core was based around the p3
Effectively Intel have been bashing out p3's for near on 10 years. 
I can't remember the exact details but the Pentium development line was kind of doing similar to Intel and 10nm now with the Pentium D, etc. increasingly becoming a joke, they had to bring in what was almost a skunkworks project by some Israelis IIRC to salvage things which because the Core 2.

From a quick google it actually stems off the Pentium Pro architecture from 1995 while implementing many of the lessons from the P3 it is actually built from an earlier concept.

There are a few videos out on this that I have seen. A good start would be -
A little OT, but shows how comprimises are made. Also shows that AMD is no slouch -

We never did see that 10ghz netburst Pentium we were promised. Similar to how we may never see a proper 10nm desktop part
What is it with intel and the number 10?What was it? 10ghz by 2005 for <1 volt? rofl.
I don't have the bus width to deal with more. Simple man, simple brain.
Explains why you didnt respond to me
sorry didnt want to push any buttons, I was genuinely interested.I'm not that convinced - I remember early core processors identifying as P3's in older software. I did have some whitepaper somewhere. I shall see if I can find it. Either way its still very much in the linage of what we see today from Intel.
So the original Pentium M "Banias" that core was based on was a die shrunk p3 "Tualatin" with the only modification being to allow the p3 to run on the P4's quad bus. So We both win!

Lost my trust in them when they took Nvidia's money, which Nvidia paid them to perpetuate Nvidia 2X over 2080 lie.
They may have done innocently, they may have been naive enough to trust Nvidia or they may just have liked the money. I actually don't mind if AMD, Intel or Nvidia pay reviewers for articles as long as that is made clear, which Digital Foundry did make it clear it was Nvidia paid content, it was a for review of their products and for any self-respecting reviewers that's a big fat "NO" you don't take money to review products, that makes you an advertising arm of the vendor masquerading as an independent.
Predictably Nvidia set out the parameters for the review and those parameters were designed to make the product look better than it actually was. Digital Foundry still went ahead with it knowing this, that's their credibility out of the window.

Oh... sorry mate i just didn't see it

Can't remember now but I remember people were getting Pentium D's up to almost 10GHz on LN2, etc. and it was still slower than 3GHz CPUs from the likes of the Athlon 64.
Haven't seen anything official but probably some of the details they will release on the 28th - they usually bundle something (with the Raise the Game thing).
Nutters - Read my edit on the last post. We are of course both technically correct on where core came from
- It's errr... a p3, but the linage starts with a die shrunk p3 with a modification. The Pentium M.Oh... sorry mate i just didn't see it
ah no worries. cant go wrong with a 2070s bud

Yeah, i'm quite happy.... that is until the new £400 cards arrive.
PC gamers: Ray tracing is a must for highest IQ regardless of the performance impact.
Also PC gamers: Turns every advanced image quality setting to low, or off, for maximum FPS and better visibility in games.
Has there been any genuine leaks yet or are we still arguing over theoretical performance and watching YouTube videos of neckbeards with insider information?

This was around the time I stopped taking intel seriously as they were charging top whack and for little gains. That and the change of socket/motherboard nearly every gen.
