Intel Discontinues Extreme Edition P4
bizpile writes "X-bit Labs reports that Intel is stopping production of its Extreme Edition Pentium 4s. The company said in its statement sent to clients, 'Market demand for the Intel Pentium 4 processor Extreme Edition supporting Hyper-Threading technology 3.20GHz with 800MHz processor system bus in mPGA478 packaging has shifted to higher performance Intel processors.'"

The effect is a bit extreme. Let the rehab begin!
Well, AMD is gamer's CPU, Intel makes work CPU's, so I guess it really depends on whether you'r a gamer or do serious work with your computer. The reason is simple - HyperThreading simply gives better multi-tasking, and games don't require that. At single-task operation, AMD and Intel CPU's are pretty much the same.
Anyway, I don't see where you are going with the hint that Doom 3 might have shifted ppl towards AMD64. Personally I want to do more than single thing with my computer at any given time, thus I use Intel. I tested AMD once - it bogged down the entire system after I started 2-3 compilations and few vmware sessions, while with Intel, the system remained highly responsive under even heavier loads.
Those who don't have money for quality and/or don't need multi-tasking and high performance, get AMD. But for real work - I prefer real CPU.

"When I first bought my 2.4GHz wireless phone system several years ago, it was a rather new technology, and wi-fi wasn't even on the scene. Now it appears that all wireless phones are on the 2.4 or 5.8 GHz spectrum, and I've got neighbors with wi-fi (with myself included). While checking out new phones recently, I've noticed some are carrying a "802.11 Friendly" sticker. The question is, are there any trully 802.11 friendly phones? Has anyone really ever had a problem with these types of phones interfering with their wi-fi network?""When I first bought my 2.4GHz wireless phone system several years ago, it was a rather new technology, and wi-fi wasn't even on the scene.

You know you could just try learning something about those "Sparcs" and "SGIs". You will find that when you spend 5k-1M you actually get a good design, good performance, and a well built reliable system. It amazes me to hear people declare their PC is arch. superior, or faster than a workstation or server. PC's are just toys.
