Intel cancels release of 4 GHz Pentium 4 chip
San Jose, USA: In the latest change to its product lineup, Intel Corp cancelled plans to release a 4 GHz computer microprocessor, saying it will rely on approaches besides faster clock speed to improve the performance of chips.

The world's largest semiconductor company had originally said it will release the fast Pentium 4 by the end of 2004 after touting its plan for months.

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.
