There are no details yet on the Pentium 4 (it is 4 btw, they've dropped the roman numerals) other than the fact that supposedly its architecture is as new and different from the rest of the P6 family as the Athlon's is. That, and supposedly, its going to run at very high (read start at 1.3Ghz) clock rates. Only time will fill in more of the sketchy details that have been released.
