IN THE latest change to its product line-up, Intel has cancelled plans to release a 4Ghz microprocessor, saying it would rely approaches besides faster clock speed to improve the performance of chips.
The world's largest semiconductor company had originally said it would release the fast Pentium 4 by the end of 2004 after touting its plan for months. Then in July, it pushed back the release to early next year.
The cancellation was not a complete surprise, given recent changes in Intel's strategy. At the same time, the chip industry has begun focusing on improving chip performance through means other than processor clock speed.
Intel engineers are studying adding additional processing engines to a single chip and improving the efficiency in how the chips interact with the rest of the system.
