Tejas to be canned...
This is being reported in the Wall Street Journal today, though it's been predicted earlier elsewhere.
The development teams for Tulsa and Jayhawk have also been re-assigned.
The latest developments? Goodby Tejas, Jayhawk, and Tulsa...
I wonder how Intel's stock price will do this week, after canning the nearly complete Tejas and it's follow on programs? This kind of puts their roadmap in disarray; as various folks have been speculating since they brought the head of the Isreali CPU development group that produced the Pentium M back to Santa Clara, there will be a marked change in direction in development for desktop CPUs and server CPUs, and they will look a lot more like Pentium M's or Athlon64's architecturally.
Hello Pentium M and it's progeny.
Pentium M = PIII with pipeline enhancments plus big L2 cache. I.E, do more work with fewer Gigahurtz, AKA Athalon!
Reportedly, there's a skunkworks project in Oregon to shovel the AMD 64 extensions into the Pentium M....
