I wonder what happened to the P4 team, were they censured, disgraced and put into cold storage?
The "team" did what they were asked to do.
Had they failed in doing what they were asked to do then you could start wondering about the repercussions of those failings.
They succeeded, but I don't think the end-result was quite what the champions of the program had envisioned. So the question really ought to be "what happened to the risk-takers who decided to take risk in launching the netburst initiative?"
And if you think about American business mentality the one thing that is repeatedly driven home is "we need more people who are willing to take risk". When everyone becomes a Wally (dilbert reference) and just worries about covering their own neck to save their own job, that is when the company dies from lack of innovation.
So one would hope Intel rewarded the risk takers, yes the final product was a bit of dog (prescott at least), but the mindset of being willing to do something different is something that needs to prevail. Albeit redirected towards taking risk in a different vector (power reduction).
AMD slaughtered its risk-takers, lambs to the butcher style. Don't expect too many Dilberts or Tinas to be willing to stick their neck out on projects going forward. Those who remain at AMD are still there because they knew well enough to keep their mouth shut. And that is exactly what they have going forward, a scared-shirtless workforce who doesn't want to say boo because they don't want to be on the list for the next round of layoffs.
