I read your cover story entitled "Intel's P6" (April) and was hoping to get some additional references from you. The only information I've been able to find on the P6 is in your article and in Intel's home page.

As far as I know, my story on the Intel P6 is the most detailed information available in a general magazine. The only source for more information is the February 16 issue of Microprocessor Report, a newsletter that covers the semiconductor industry. It's not available on newsstands, and subscriptions cost $495 a year. Intel will eventually publish a manual on the P6, but it's not available yet, either.
