[edit] Moving this stuff into various "List of XXX microprocessors" pages
This page is sort of like the List of AMD Athlon microprocessors, List of AMD Athlon 64 microprocessors, etc. pages. Perhaps there should be List of Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors, List of Intel Pentium M microprocessors, etc. pages. Guy Harris 01:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, there now are those pages. Should all this stuff be moved to those pages? Guy Harris 21:45, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wow, I didn't even know this page exists. Horrible organisation, an even worse name, and it's not linked anywhere. Ugh. How did it survive AfD? Anyway, yeah, I'd support merging in the various extra feature data into the new lists, if there's a way to squeeze it into the table without breaking the page layout (I modelled the tables after the ones in the AMD lists, but the tables are so wide already).

- List of AMD Athlon microprocessors, List of AMD Athlon XP microprocessors, and List of AMD Duron microprocessors (but not some of the other lists of AMD microprocessors) all have a TDP column, which might be the right place for the "Power" information on this page. Some column or columns for the various features might be useful, too. Guy Harris 01:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've added a TDP column to List of Intel Pentium 4 microprocessors, and the others will follow shortly. IMO, adding any more columns will be practically unreadable on anything but huge monitors -- even now, the P4EE table, with both the L3-Cache and TDP columns, looks very bad on my laptop. I just came up with an idea for how to describe the other features, based on the List of AMD Opteron microprocessors page (look at how the 2xx and 8xx series' are differentiated above each table). Jgp 19:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- The P4EE table looks OK on my laptop, but I have a 17" PowerBook. :-) Perhaps abbreviating "Extreme Edition" as "EE" in the individual rows would help there. Guy Harris 20:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Done, and the TDP additions are complete. I've also added the other features, in another form. Jgp 22:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Cool. The way you added the extra features makes sense (putting it into each row, when the rows would largely be identical, might have been harder to read than the simple summary you put in). Guy Harris 22:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Get rid of the merge tags?
If the merging is done, there's no need for the pages to speak of the proposed merger; removing them might prevent people from voting purely Merge in the AfD, leaving only Delete and Keep as options. Guy Harris 00:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that might help. Good idea. Jgp 00:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2nd AfD outcome
The result of the 2nd AfD was merge then delete. I am not clear though whether the merging has been done or not. When all the merging is complete the article can be markde for speedy deletion - make sure to reference the AfD outcome in the reasoning. Thryduulf 18:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- The article has been significantly changed since the AfD started. I beleive that while the article still has problems, many of the concerns have been addressed. Armedblowfish 21:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Renaming
Guy Harris - I decided to move this to "Comparison of Intel processors" rather than "List of Intel processors", because it is more than just a list of names, and the term "comparison" allows for further expansion of a more wordy nature in the future. Also because no one else had moved it. Armedblowfish 21:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still needs work
The Xeon row is crowded, confusing, and not really accurate. The 5xxx/7xxx nomenclature only actually encompasses some of the more recent Xeons. I'm not at all sure why Xeons stretching back to the Pentium II Xeon (Drake) are listed, especially when Pentium IIs are not. The Pentium 4 row, again, implies that the 3-digit nomenclature applies to all Pentium 4s, which it does not. And Celerons are still completely excluded. I guess what I'm getting at is I can't figure out what this page is meant to be. Is it supposed to cover the products Intel is currently selling? Historical processors?
