[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 396372, member: 29394"] Indeed, it's all to do with pipelines. The P4 has a 20 stage pipeline which allows for high clock speed. Intel intended to clock the P4 up to 10Ghz but it became clear the heat dissipation and power requirement would have been too much of a problem. So they scrapped the P4 and went to the Pentium M architecture. [/QUOTE]
