Intel's announcement of a 2.2GHz

Intel's announcement of a 2.2GHz version of the Pentium 4 received very little coverage, considering the chip will sell more than 100 million units, and -- since it uses a more advanced process technology -- will lead to dramatic reductions in Pentium 4 prices. At least AP managed a story, which also included new AMD processors. Part of the problem is that we've been hearing roughly the same story -- Intel produces faster chip -- for 30 odd years. Still, if you bought a 1.3GHz PC a year ago, you can buy a 2.2GHz model now. And yes, they are available today.
